Those paths are relative to the directory where patch(1) will be
running. That's ${PATCH_WRKSRC} (same as ${WRKSRC} by default) in
ports. BTW, ${WRKSRC} normally is the top directory in the tarball.
I'd venture a guess that you need to strip the "foo-0.1.1/" from
the patch paths. There are knobs to coerce third party patches that
aren't relative to ${WRKSRC}, but it's a patch *you* are creating,
so there's no need to complicate the Makefile.

It's supposed to be you.
