How do patches get applied to packages?

I created a patch for a port. Does that same patch also get applied to the package automatically when the package is built from the port on the package server or is it a separate process to patch a package as well? I am not seeing any explanation of this process in the Porter's Handbook yet.
 
A package is just a port that has been built. Patches are applied when the port is built, so they are already part of the package.
 
There are no patches to the binary packages. Any changes to built packages have to be applied by recompiling the port to a new package.
