Much thanks for the tip! This was exactly the problem. I added o+r read access
to the patch directory/files, and everything works fine. I had the same problem
on two different machines, one running 10.7 and the other 10.8 -- both work now.
Since these were completely fresh builds directly from CVS, I'm surprised that
the installation script didn't set the permissions correctly to begin with.
Maybe a bug?

The noted .patch file needs to be world-readable in order for the fink
sandbox-build process to be able to access it. Check that the file exists, and
that 'ls -l' of it reports -rw-r--r-- (that third "r" is the key). Then work
backwards in its directory structure (/sw/fink/dists/stable/main/finkinfo/devel
/sw/fink/dists/stable/main/finkinfo /sw/fink/dists/stable/main etc) and check
that 'ls -ld' of it report dwxrr-xr-x (that last r-x is the key). Somewhere
along this path is likely something that ends with --- instead. If it's the
file itself, "chmod 644" it. If it's a directory leading to it, "chmod 755" it.
I get this all the time when I have a restrictive umask, because then
selfupdate sets all the files to be unaccessable by anyone except "me".
