I first came across this question 6 years ago. Then I chose to describe the pattern in a separate diagram (usually in a 'patterns' package) and have the implementation pf the pattern 'Inherit' from the appropriate pattern elements. These days, I work much in the same way, using a 'Realise' relationship. I find this is a reasonable stop gap where UML patterns are not fully supported by the tool. As always, the important thing is that it is clear to everybody what you mean.
