If the relevant patch files are added to 'inputs' or 'native-inputs',
then they are available in the build environment.  As an example,
see the "libpng-apng" package.  It adds the patch to 'inputs'
(named "apng") and invokes "patch" during the 'patch-apng' phase.

The "apng" input uses an 'origin' reference, but you could use
(local-file ...) there as well.  Or beter: use 'search-patch'
instead.

Greetings,
Maxime.
