Use Ctrl+D to terminate input, or Ctrl+C to stop the operation here.
It seems that a patch file is damaged - patch file itself usually
contains the information _which_ source file to patch _how_ (diff).

Try the following:

Run "make clean" and update your ports tree (for example with portsnap),
then run a normal "make" again; "make" will execute all steps needed
until installation time (like "make fetch", "make extract", or "make
patch").

In worst case, use "pkg install xdm". ;-)
