You have to be comfortable in vim, but you can use the following:
gvim "+vert diffpatch <patchfile>" <originalfile>
If you aren't comfortable with vim, you *might* be able to use the
following, but no guarantees (I don't have a patch file handy to determine
whether this will work):
gvim -y "+vert diffpatch <patchfile>" <originalfile>
