Sorry, but i don't really understand why you can't do exactly this
yourself?

Check out clsql, change into the toplevel directory  and intiailize darc.
Then add all the files to it. This is your upstream repro.

For your local branch, just do an initial  
'darcs  get <upstream repro path>'

Now, whenever upstream changes, go the to upstream repro and do a 
 'cvs update'
This should always succeed since you never change anything in there.
Now, to sync your local branch with upstream,go to your local repo
and do a 'darcs pull'. To create patches against upstream, do a
'darcs send'.
