Apply patch to port files?

[Mayhem30]

A patch has been released for pecl-APC. I'd like to use it (and not have to wait until the next version is released).

I've never done this before - how would I apply the following patch? (I use the ports system)

Good stuff for start:

BTW, for pecl-APC you're a little late, patch already commited by other PR:
