As far as I know make-kpkg: there is no such "simple" patch option. Instead you can make "kernel-patch-*" packages by using the dh_installkpatches debhelper script (found in package "").
I took "kernel-patch-ipvs-2.4" from backports.org (source package) as an example for my own kernel-patch-* packages.
After installing your self made kernel-patch-* packages you have to call make-kpkg with the option "--added-patches <patchid>". The will be applied and removed automatically (on configure and clean, respectivly).
