Ehm,

And ofcourse, the patches can be found here:
http://folk.ntnu.no/lulf/patches/freebsd/gvinum

One for releng_6* and one for current.

The patch is applied like this:
# cd /usr/src && patch < /path/to/patch

Remember to not have the old gvinum module running.

Then install the module:
# cd /usr/src/sys/modules/geom/geom_vinum && make && make install clean

Then install userland gvinum
# cd /usr/src/sbin/gvinum && make && make install clean

And you should be ready to go. The updated manpage in
/usr/src/sbin/gvinum/gvinum.8 describes how growing is done. Just gzip it and
put it in /usr/share/man/man8 to use it.
