Sometimes, yes.  I usually use

hg qnew -e -f trac_XXXX-do_something.patch

after I realize that my most recent changes should comprise a new patch.
 For example, the changes may be more than a simple revision to the
topmost applied patch, on a different topic, highly experimental, etc.

I substitute the appropriate ticket number, if I happen to have it.  The
first commit message just summarizes what I've done so far and perhaps
also what's left to do.
