JHBuild looks for patches in (this list is not exhaustive):

modulesets_dir/patches
modulesets_dir/../patches
PKGDATADIR/patches
SRCDIR/patches

May be try setting modulesets_dir in ~/.jhbuildrc?

It is recommended *not* to install JHBuild GNOME in /usr. Install
JHBuild GNOME to /opt/gnome. Then setup JHBuild GNOME to run as default
from the display manager [1] and your users will be none the wiser.
