I know it's bad form to reply to your own message, but I'm doing it anyway. 
Here's my quick stab on filename convention:

${PN}-${PV}-arch/use-##-short_desc[-gentoo].diff.bz2

where...
##  = the patch number (two digit w/leading zeros) in order added
arch  = "any", or arch it applies to
short_desc = ~20 characters or less, use flag at the beginning (if applic),   
  underscores between words
[-gentoo] = optional, if diff is gentoo-specific and/or originated @ gentoo

examples:
 glibc-2.3.4-any-01-pax_localedef_fix_trampoline.diff.bz2
 glibc-2.3.4-any-02-pax_pt.diff.bz2
 glibc-2.3.4-any-03-pax_i386_got_fix.bz2
 glibc-2.3.4-amd64-01-conf_libdir-gentoo.diff.bz2
 glibc-2.3.4-mips-01-addabi.diff.bz2
 glibc-2.3.4-mips-02-syscall.h.diff.bz2
 glibc-2.3.4-mips-03-sysify.diff.bz2
 glibc-2.3.4-mips-04-multilib_nolib3264.diff.bz2
 glibc-2.3.4-mips-05-pax_dl_execstack_support.diff.bz2

This convention doesn't address files that aren't patches (i.e., conf 
files, makefiles, etc)
