Hm.  Applying a patch is trivial if you already know how to build
pan from source, otherwise it's a mighty big topic.

Get the source code for pan:

http://pan.rebelbase.com/download/releases/0.132/source/pan-0.132.tar.bz2

#cd
#mkdir src
#cd src
#tar -xvjf /path/to/pan/pan-0.132.tar.bz2
#patch  -p0 < /path/to/patchfile/load-pixbuf-in-1024-byte-chunks.diff

Assuming you get no error messages from the above, all you need to
do from there is compile and install.  If the compile-and-install
phase is a mystery to you, we'll need further lessons :o)
