from the .src.rpm's that Red Hat includes with their distribution.
It even has then described in the .spec file.

Three step process
1 - get the RH source RPM and unpack
2 - get the kernel.org source of the same number
3 - use diff to generate the patch.
Optional step 4 - look at the size of it, shake your head and swear.

If 2.6.5 is acceptible:
http://packages.debian.org/unstable/devel/kernel-patch-redhat
Unfortunately, it appears that this package is 'scheduled for
removal'.

If you do it such a dumb way then sure. Most of the patches in the 2.6.8
and 2.6.9 ones are post 2.6.9 fixes already in the base tree because of
the lack of a stable base kernel tree in Linus new model.
In order that we don't go collectively insane maintaining it those are
broken out from the feature patches we needed. Generating a single giant
diff loses all the useful info.

I didn't feel the need of editorial comment on the original question,
clearly if you had a better way to get WHAT HE ASKED FOR you might have
included it instead of commenting on the answer.
