Yes, use a branch.  'darcs get' either the whole repo
and unpull the patches you want to send, or use a
--to-something-option.  Then use that branch as "target"
repo when creating the patch bundle.

If the fake target contains any patch not in the real target,
the patch bundle can't be applied since it will be missing
those patches.  The other way around is safe, since extra
patches will just be ignored, so in a worst scenario case
you can use an empty repo as fake target to simply put all
the patches in a patch bundle.
