You should just be able to do "patch -p1 -i icu4c-4_6-mingw-gnustep.diff" inside the icu/ dir.
I just downloaded icu4c-4_6-src.tgz and the patch failed. However, I also downloaded icu4c-4_6-src.zip and applied the patch successfully. There seems to be some difference between the two and I'm not sure what it is. A diff -ur between the extracted tgz and zip outputs a plethora of differences (probably new-line characters). Anyway, the patch seems to only work with the .zip file.
