I think there is no way to sanely handle that. I treat .pd files as
binary files in this regard. One small change can change the whole file.
The objects within a patch are identified and ordered by an
automatically given integer number. A small change might cause many
objects to be renumbered without any relation to the previous version.
Such a diff might be huge even if the change is very small.

I think you are left with avoiding conflicts whenever possible as Pd
patches cannot be diff'd and merged in a meaningful way.
