The usual place is src_prepare().

I have prepared some patches from the Xfce repository with line
addressing to match the Gentoo sources tarball.  I attach a tarball of
theses patches that can be untarred in /etc/portage/patches/.  The
ebuild should have the following lines added:

src_prepare() {
        epatch_user
}

Don't forget to redo the manifest for the ebuild.
