It all depends on the nature of the patches. If they are likely to be portable and relatively simple and not controversial they can be applied straight away. Otherwise they may need to be modified and/or discussed further. To save possible duplicated effort I'd suggest you use the current 0.9.8-stable branch which you can pull using rsync/cvs or at least the most recent snapshot see: http://www.openssl.org//source/repos.html A number of fixes to the build system have already been applied since 0.9.8j.
