2 possible ways:

1) as additional sources as SRC_URI accepts multiples files,

2) as dedicated patch as PATCH_URI accept multiple files.

On lapack I use both the two solutions, for different reason:

SRC_URI="http://www.netlib.org/lapack/${ORIG_PN}-${PV}.tgz
http://www.netlib.org/cblas_20110120.tgz
http://www.netlib.org/lapack/manpages-3.4.0.tgz";

PATCH_URI="cblas-cmake.patch
lapack-dll.patch"

For you case PATCH_URI should be better (IMHO), as first case unlikely 
put the files in the right place and you will need to redefine 
"src_unpack_hook()" plus CYGPORT_USE_UNSTABLE_API=1
for moving them around.
