This has been discussed in the forum a while ago. Frugalware's makepkg has something like that. The problem is that applying patches is not trivial. Depending how the patch was created, different options to the patch command are required. Sometime, when dealing with multiple patches, the order in which the patches are applied is important. It adds a lot of complexity for the little benefits that it brings. And it also make the PKGBUILD less transparent.
