Figured this out -- but for other's benefit, in case anyone else is as ignorant as I am....
cut/pasting the recommended git commands that gerrit provides didn't work, but I discovered that the (gitweb) links take you directly to git.openafs.org, and from there you can get the raw diff in a form you can download pretty easily. Clicking on "commitdiff" and then "raw" gives you a good old plain text diff you can download.
