The usual place is src_prepare().
I have prepared some patches from the Xfce repository with line
addressing to match the Gentoo sources tarball. I attach a tarball of
theses patches that can be untarred in /etc/portage/patches/. The
ebuild should have the following lines added:
src_prepare() {
epatch_user
}
Don't forget to redo the manifest for the ebuild.
