I have *not* made patches, sorry, but can tell you that CVS can give you recursive diff's between your working copy (with your patch) and the original source tree (if a cvs repository is available!)... so you shouldn't need both trees locally... but then with cvs's poor handling of new directories... and also those files not in the repository at all would be a problem, too.
