I asked this question a while back. Here is a summary of the 
responses:

Basically, you cd to the directory containing the 'dist' directory
from the distribution. Then you type:

   patch -p <diff-xx.yy-xx.zz

If you don't keep your sources, etc in a directory called 'dist'
cd to whatever directory the 'src', 'lisp', 'etc', etc. directories
are in and create a symbolic link to it named dist. i.e. type:
   
   ln -s . dist

Then do the above. I have tried this and it works flawlessly.
REMEMBER to recompile the .el files with byte-recompile-directory before
building the new (gnu) emacs.
