The goal is to make the modified files stay exactly as they are, right?

For that you can use the merge tool that always uses the local changes:

hg import --bypass <patch> && hg update --merge --tool internal:merge-local
(see hg help mergetool for details)

⇒ import the patch, then update and in case of conflict, use the local
  version.

To test:

hg init foo
cd foo
echo first > 1
hg add 1
hg ci -m first
echo interactive.patch > 1
hg diff > interactive.patch
echo second > 1
hg import --bypass interactive.patch -m "interactive.patch"
hg update --merge --tool internal:merge-local
hg diff

Result:
diff --git a/1 b/1
--- a/1
+++ b/1
@@ -1,1 +1,1 @@
-interactive.patch
+second

Best wishes,
