I like Juliusz' version of vc-darcs (a back end for the more-generic
"vc" package).  It supports "C-x v =" to ediff the current buffer with
its _darcs/current/ version.  You can get it here:

An ediff of an entire patch is an interesting idea.  I envision: open a
darcs patch in emacs, press "n" to advance through the hunks of the
patch (not sure what to do about non-hunk patches).  If the current hunk
is in a different file from the previous hunk, create new buffers to
display the ediff for that file.
