No, there's no way yet.  svn can handle renames which patch doesn't.
There is talk on putting together a general diff format that is more
powerful than what patch can handle.  This would be used by Subversion,
arch, etc.

The best way is kinda a hack, but you would check do something like
this

# check out a fresh copy of the tree into another directory
svn co http://svn.orcaware.com:8000/repos/trunk/orca orca-orig

diff -ru -x .svn orca-orig orca > patch-file.txt

email patch-file.txt

Best,
Blair
