I'm not sure I undersand - do you mean that you'd pick one of
$(WRKDIRPREFIX)/${CATEGORY}/${PORTNAME}/files or
$(LOCALPATCHDIRPREFIX)/${CATEGORY}/${PORTNAME}/files to get
patches from, based on the state of USE_LOCAL_PATCHES? But I was
hoping to augment $(WRKDIRPREFIX)/${CATEGORY}/${PORTNAME}/files
instead of replacing it.
