I keep my src tree updated with cvsup, but I start to accumulate

Those are usually patches that have been already put forward to the
attention of the maintainers with a send-pr, but got forgotten or
simply ignored possibly because considered not interesting.
At the moment I simply manually copy the modified files into the
source tree before recompiling, but, of course, next time I do a
cvsup, the changes are gone, requiring me to repeat the process next
time I compile (and likely forgetting some stuff).
Is there already any pre-canned way to include those patches at
compile time? (A parallel source tree, for instance.)
There are probably more than one way to keep local patches to the
source, but the way I do it is:
Use cvsup to get a local copy of the whole cvs repository (instead of
just a checked out source tree).
Then use cvs to check out the source tree from the local repository.
Unlike cvsup, cvs knows how to handle local modifications.
