This does probably not do what you expect.  If you put that line
at the usual place in your ports Makefile, bsd.port.mk has not been
included yet, thus PATCH_LIST has not been set and so you don't add
anything, you effectively set PATCH_LIST=mypatch.  Later on,
bsd.port.mk checks whether PATCH_LIST is already set and doesn't
touch it.  Which means patch-* is never added to PATCH_LIST and
your regular patches aren't applied.
