If you really need it, you can rebuild the rpm itself from the .src.rpm.
Adding a small patch is quite easy, even if you're not familiar
with spec files. Usually there are other patches already, all you need
is to move the patch file to the right place (SOURCES in the rpm tree)
and add one PatchXXX: and one %patchXXX line. Then use rpmbuild
(note that you need the development set of packages installed, of course).
