If you emerged cyrus-imapd then the source will be in /usr/portage/distfiles. 
After patching you will have to recalculate the package digest (ie: the 
md5sum) or portage will refuse to install the new version. I cannot recall 
the exact command for this ATM but it is in the ebuild guide along with all 
the other gentoo docs...
