do you have the

Of course.  And that's created as needed, anyway.

That happens if the patchfile being referenced in the Portfile does not exist in the files directory.

Yeah, I actually figured out the problem shortly after I posted that, but as I was driving somewhere. That's what I get for rushing. :-)

It's my fault that it wasn't seeing the patchfile, though it's unclear to me why it would ever be useful to try to fetch it from the distfile mirrors.
