It seems like it's just not in the right directory?

In /usr/ports/x11-wm/fluxbox there are such folders:
Makefile distinfo files pfg-descr pkg-plist
The patches you mentioned are in the 'files' directory.

I have a tarball, and I also have it unpacked in a separate folder. Where should I put which files, so that it finds them finally, and starts to install?
Did you get the tarball from the FreeBSD ports page on the web site? If so did you click on the name of the package (fluxbox-1.0.0_2)? If this is what you did you only downloaded the port package that tell freebsd how to build Fluxbox and what source file to get. You would need to click the link that says 'source' underneath the package name. Just wanted to point that out in case that is what you did and were wondering why it is not working.

If you did something else just ignore me
