I believe the proper tool is called "perspective clone" but in my 
experience it does not seem to be able to apply a perspective effect 
when using a pattern as the clone source.

You can however clone from a 
separate layer, so if you manually tile your source pattern and place it
 on a different layer you can specify that as the source and the desired
 layer as the target, and achieve the desired effect.
