xfig patch

Hi, I have installed MacPorts in the intend of using xfig. Unfortunatly, the port of xfig does not work. Apparently, someone posted a patch file to address this issue but I have no idea how to use this patch file. I have looked the user guide but it was of little help since it explains more how to create such patch file than how to use it. Can someone explain me how to fix the xfig port step by step ? Many thanks.
