You'd better create an sane-backends-1.0.11.ebuild in
/usr/local/portage/media-gfx/sane-backends/, rather that -r1. If there
will later be an official -r1 ebuild, it would be overwritten by your
own ebuild.
Then simply `emerge sane-backends` or `emerge /path/to/your.ebuild`.

You could either write you own ebuild or apply the patch manually. I
suggested adding a MY_PATCHES environment var in gentoo-dev ML, but
they did not like it. Matt "frogger" Rickard answered this:

This is possible using the ebuild command explicitely. 'ebuild
ebuildname.ebuild unpack', apply the patches you want (to
/var/tmp/portage/ebuildname), then ebuild compile, install, and
qmerge.
Not completely automated, but how often does one need to add
additional patches to packages? I've found this method to work quite
well for me.
