That's the way I've been updating the w3m port. But the patches are getting bigger (upstream is inactive) so it's not ideal to keep it in the ports tree.
You should probably manually apply the patches first to see if it breaks the build or fixes the issue. I would not blindly apply any Linux patch.

Since its size will grow, I'd prefer to fetch the patches from Debian archives (e.g. w3m_0.5.3-36.debian.tar.xz). I tried to add the archive and ${workpath}/.../020_debian.patch to distfiles and patchfiles, but that didn't work because port(1) attempted to fetch the patchfiles into ${distpath} and `DEBUG: Fetching distfile failed: No such file or directory`. -- Best regards, Zero King
