You have already got two good answers, so I just want to point out
that this can be done in Emacs:  read the header of the patch to see
what file it modifies, and then type M-x ediff-patch-file.  Tell Ediff
that the patch is already in a buffer, namely the article buffer, and
then enter the file within your planner source directory to patch.
Afterwards, reload the patched file with M-x eval-buffer.

Ediff can be confusing sometimes, so use whatever method suits you.
