Judging from the "${WRKSRC_storage}" usage in post-patch, I think the
problem is that "make makepatch" only operates under ${WRKSRC}.
Same goes for "make patch" - it will apply patches against ${WRKSRC}.
For Haskell ports I made Uses/cabal.mk to put Haskell dependencies
into ${WRKSRC}/cabal_deps rather than ${WRKDIR}/cabal_deps exactly
for this reason.

In your case you can stay with post-patch (it looks nice to me) or you
can symlink ${WRKSRC_storage} somewhere under ${WRKSRC} to let
patch/makepatch machinery kick in.
