I think that is true for EAPI-5. EAPI-6 or later ebuilds should only
require the patch be located in the dir with the sources
(/usr/portage<cat/pak> or /usr/local/portage/<cat/pak>, I think.
(epatch-users is good to google on. There might be a bit more to it, but
just google. Also, there are some eclasses that help this out a bit for
more complicated hacks. [1]

Usually, the best thing to do is put (your) patches and a full copy of
the ebuild into /usr/local/portage, for a guy like you who is hacking
at ebuilds for embedded boards anyway.
proxy-maint folks are the best to answer these question and help you,
cause there are always twists and bumps along the way, like dependencies
slightly changed and thus requiring a tweak. Unfortunately they are only
available on the irc channel. Hopefully on of the devs will clear this
up even further, as last time I looked, this is a subject that the
devManual has not fully documented, or anyone compiled a few examples
for user to look at. It's a moving target depending on the EAPI-level of
the ebuild.
