Does Ext3 ACL mean this option?
[ ]     Ext3 POSIX Access Control Lists

This can be found on 2.4.20-gentoo-r1 gentoo-sources.
So no need to patch at all. This kernel is keyword masked though.
So if you can't consider to put keyword masked kernel in your machine 
then you can take a look how to add patches to the kernel sources by 
looking the gentoo-sources ebuilds.
