You have to copy the diff file to the build directory and use the patch
utility to patch the existing source, i.e. patch -p1 <pine4.02.diff
See man patch for further details.
Pine 4.02 is quite old now. Why not go to http://www.washington.edu/pine
and get the current version (4.10). That will save you the trouble of
patching your source and still ending up with an old version.

To build pine and pico against termcap, I had to alter the STDLIBS entry
in the makefiles to show:
for pine:
STDLIBS=/usr/lib/termcap/libtermcap.a
and for pico:
LIBS=$(EXTRALIBES) /usr/lib/termcap/libtermcap.a
I prefer to link them to ncurses though, with
STDLIBS=-lncurses
and
LIBS=$(EXTRALIBES) -lncurses
respectively.
The files you need to alter are <BUILD_DIR>/pine/makefile.lnx and
<BUILD_DIR>/pico/makefile.lnx
ISTR I had to go through the files /osdep/os-lnx.h in the pine and pico
directories and tweak a few paths to things such as the maildir and
ispell too.
