I'm by no means an expert on this but here's what I do:
- install the pkgtools/pkgdiff package
- When I edit a file, I use pkgvi which automatically backs
  up the old:
	# cd mail/sendmail
	# pkgvi work/sendmail-8.14.1/devtools/OS/QNX.6.x
- create patches
	# mkpatches
- see if I'm happy with them
	# patchdiff
- copy them over
	# cp work/.newpatches/patch-xx patches
- remake the digest
	# bmake mdi
- verify the whole thing
	# bmake clean && bmake

Hope that helps.
