The patches should be applied in all cases (i.e. 4.x as well); if the
patch contains code that should not be compiled in the 4.x case then
compile it conditionally using something like:

#if defined(__FreeBSD__) && (__FreeBSD_version >= 5000xx)
...
#endif

See the porter's handbook for more information about this.
