I suppose something like this could work for Git and Hg:

1) Stash/Shelve all current changes.
2) Apply the provided patch. Somehow deal carefully with the new files 
in there, especially when said files are already present (and 
unregistered) in the work tree. Probably by scanning the file list in 
the patch in advance and 'git add'-ing all the existing new file first 
in step 1.
3) Stash the currently applied new changes. Also don't forget to 'git 
add' any unregistered files.
4) Unstash/unshelve the previous stash.

And I guess it will require a new key binding in diff-mode buffers.
