The best way is to get the patch added into the port, if the maintainer
is willing. :-)

Just put it in the files subdirectory under the port directory, just
before you build the port. Look at other patches to see from which
directory they are applied, and make yours match.

Unfortunately most port update tools will delete files that are not in
the master tree.
