Trying to patch with the R6.1pl1-3.2.diff here is where it dies,
leaving me to patch manually:
Hmm...  The next patch looks like a new-style context diff to me...
The text leading up to this was:
--------------------------
|diff -c /dev/null xc/programs/xkbcomp/keycodes/sgi/Imakefile:3.0
|*** /dev/null  Sun Oct 27 00:13:33 1996
|--- xc/programs/xkbcomp/keycodes/sgi/Imakefile Tue Aug 13 21:34:08 1996
--------------------------
(Creating file xc/programs/xkbcomp/keycodes/sgi/Imakefile...)
patch: **** can't find xc/programs/xkbcomp/keycodes/sgi/Imakefile

The xc/programs/xkbcomp/keycodes/sgi is now an empty file, with
sgi.orig starting with 
// $XConsortium: sgi /main/4 1995/12/07 21:36:27 kaleb $
default xkb_keycodes "indigo" {

Removing the _file_ xc/programs/xkbcomp/keycodes/sgi and creating
the _directory_ xc/programs/xkbcomp/keycodes/sgi helped very much,
but this is a serious patching bug, AFAIU...

This is on FreeBSD-2.2. May be it has the problemsome patch(1), but
hey, this platform is listed in the OS list. Best,
