To the best of my knowledge, patches applied by the ebuild are not user-deselectable. A workaround that you might be OK with is to copy that version of the ebuild you use plus patches your own local overlay, remove the offending patches from files/ and edit the ebuild if necessary. This way, that version and only that version will do what you want. If the maintainer fixes the issue and pushes gperf-3.1-r1 to the tree then your locally modified ebuild won't be used anymore.
