Here's another idea and I don't know why I didn't think of it

Why not simply alias patch=gpatch in profile.bashrc?
See the FreeBSD profile for an example.
I'd like to package portage for OpenSolaris and have it just drop-in
work so modifications like what you suggest wouldn't be required.
Hopefully, base-system maintainers don't mind my request, but I can
understand it's beyond the Linux use case.
