How would you apply 1.3 patches to an exsisting kernel?

I'd like to do this with the current neopwn kernel. Thank you for any and all assistance. (most likely requires source, which I do not have)

What flasher command would be used to temporarily flash a kernel candidate locally for testing? Would the flasher line in Mentalist Traceur's outline change to this:

flasher --local -F <kernel-image> --flash-only=kernel -f -R
