You can make a patch yourself:

curl 'ftp://ftp.gnupg.org/gcrypt/gnupg/gnupg-1.4.11.tar.bz2' -o gnupg-1.4.11.tar.bz2
curl 'ftp://ftp.gnupg.org/gcrypt/gnupg/gnupg-1.2.3.tar.bz2' -o gnupg-1.2.3.tar.bz2
tar xf gnupg-1.2.3.tar.bz
tar xf gnupg-1.4.11.tar.bz2
diff -dur gnupg-1.2.3 gnupg-1.4.11 > patch.txt

If you didn't want all of the changes and fixes made since v1.2.3, feel free to edit the patch.txt to only include a subset.
