Possibly not a native one, but I would guess that if you install Cygwin 
and the GNU utils it'll come with 'patch'. And isn't there some sort of 
GNU tools package for Windows? I may be just hallucinating on that one.

If it's not a very big patch, you can always do it by hand: the diff 
format is readable once you figure it out.
