It will, ebuild carries out any prior steps if they are needed. You may
want to use ebuild ... prepare instead of ebuild ... unpack. It carries
out any pre-compilation steps, like applying patches.
If you are doing this because you want to apply a patch yourself, you can
use one of the above, apply your patches, then run ebuild ... merge to
complete the process and install it. man 1 ebuild explains it all.
