last i checked apt-get source automatically extracted and patched
the source with the diff, you can see if this is the case by checking
to see if there is a debian/ directory within the extracted source tree
of the app you apt-get source'd.
in any case, the usual command to use with a diff is patch, be sure
to decompress it first(gzip -d or gunzip)
