I unpacked it all according to the >notes that come with it. 1) Patchkit 0.2.3 is *old* (0.2.4 has been out for eons in the BSD life cycle of things) 2) Don't bother with the patchkit any more. The patchkit folks have all moved on to making a new release. Look at getting either FreeBSD or NetBSD. FreeBSD is put out by the patchkit folks, NetBSD is put out by some other informed folks who also helped with the patchkit.
