Hello all.

I'm attempting to build a custom Qubes with one patch added to Xen. Is
it enough to simply add the patch with the others in
qubes-builder/qubes-src/vmm-xen/, add a line for it in
qubes-builder/qubes-src/vmm-xen/xen.spec.in, and then build?

I've changed the actual patch files in there and it's taken effect in my
builds, but haven't actually added a new patch file. It looks like there's
a duplicate list of patches in series-debian-vm.conf in that same folder?

Those patches are applied when building packages to be installed in Debian
based qubes.

qubenix approach is the right one. You can add patches instead of
modifying existing patches.
