in freebsd 5.2 i have in base system diff 2.7 and patch 2.1. Are there
any plans to import newer versions into base system for 5.3 release?

Newer patch 2.5.4 has much better error recovery and diff 2.8 is more POSIX
compatible. I am more interested in newer patch than newer diff, but patch and diff man pages are tied together.
