I am not sure I understood, but if you built a custom kernel, you need to
rebuild the external modules for your custom kernel :
nouveau-drm 0.0.16_20100313-2
Because this package only provides modules built for Arch kernel. Check list of
installed files with pacman -Ql nouveau-drm.

It's also in nouveau-drm (external modules) that you need to apply the patch.
Did you apply the patch to a 2.6.33 kernel, and were trying to use the nouveau
module shipped with the kernel ? If so, that will give you abi 0.0.15. So you
also need to downgrade both libdrm and xf86-video-nouveau to the previous
version to match the abi.

Imo the simplest way is to just follow the instructions here to fetch the
kernel from git, then apply mwk patch with git am, then build&install&enjoy :
http://nouveau.freedesktop.org/wiki/InstallDRM

If you insist on using a package, you could try :
http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=30158

By getting it from git, you will have nouveau 0.0.16 which will work with your
current libdrm and xf86-video-nouveau.
