I don't think you'll get many responses to this; some/many/most of the people
on this list are of the opinion that knowing how to apply a patch file to
a source tree is a prerequisite for being a mail administrator.
However, for a brief explanation...
A patchfile describes a set of changes to one or more files. Typically these
are text files (source code and/or documenation, etc). The utility 'patch'
can read these files and apply the changes to copies of the original files.
In this case, the patch file contains changes from the original qmail (no
capital 'q') source tree, and the version which supports LDAP or MySQL,
depending on what you're looking for. The way to use them is to download
the qmail sources, unpack the tarball, download the patch file, and apply
the patch to the now-modified qmail source tree. Then compile and install
the newly-built LDAP- or MySQL-capable qmail binaries on your system.
For more details, see `man patch` and any competent system administrator's
guide.
