Section 4.4 Patching have this sentence:
All patches should be relative to WRKSRC (generally the directory your
port's tarball unpacks itself into, that being where the build is done).
That's exactly what I had on mind. Maybe I'll change "should" to "must".

That's how every sane people do it, yes. But we're not writing How-To,
but a comprehensive Handbook which documents all possible aspect of
