Yes, this works:

- qnew old-patch-update -I file
- qnew new-patch (for all the other working files)
- qpop to your old patch
- if necessary, reorder the patch queue so the update patch is the first 
to be pushed.
- qfold the update patch (into the old patch).


Another method that feels less clean:

- qnew new-patch -X file
- rename your file.
- update
- qpop to the old patch.
- replace your new file.
- qrefresh

[I hope I've got that right from memory.]
