During a freeze, one typically wouldn't apply the upstream patches anyway, but just cherry-pick individual changes. In this case, it wouldn't be a problem to create unified diffs. Or even reformat the context diff to unified, in case the upstream patch contains nothing but RC (and translation) fixes.
