/etc/make.conf:
.if ${.CURDIR:M*/sysutils/cdrtools}
EXTRA_PATCHES=  /path/to/my/cdrtools.patch
.endif

Your patch needs to be relative to ${WRKSRC}, just as the usual patches

Be careful though, some of these vars might be set by the port itself.
(You can use VAR+=foo then, this needs to be judged on a case by case
