Adding the patch to your version isn't hard. Just download the source package
and add the patch in the patches section and rebuild. That's how I lived with
the fix until Mandriva delivered a newer KDE version. Thanks to the kdesdk src
rpm I could rebuild the package fairly easily without dowloading, configuring
and builing most of KDE. The src rpm declare the dependencies I need. My 
guess is that is about as easy with dpkg, ebuilds or ports.

This was about two months after starting to use git in my case. My first git bug was
encountered abour ten minutes after trying git. (Linus fixed the bug the day after).
