How about adding to trac a "depends on" field where any patches (not yet merge, i.e. attached to not closed tickets) could be listed. Part of the patch submission process would be to list these (where appropriate). At the same time introduce a simple consistent naming system for patches, so that regardless of what good/bad/strange/misspelt names patch authors use, there is a trac alias along the lines of trac_nnnn_N.patch where nnnn is the ticket number and N is the sequence number withing th ticket; these to be assigned automatically when patches are uploaded. I have absolutely no idea if this is possible...
