You can do two things (I think, it's been a while since I did this):

Use diff --new-file (or -N) to include the new file in the patch
or
Add a line to the autobuilder/libraries/libfoo/setvars file that
that does:
cp $H/newfile.c $S/some/desti/nation/newfile.c

Which is preferable rather depends - the patch will get applied
automatically and can bundle up changes related to the new file, while cp is
cleaner if you need a new file and nothing else.

BTW, have you seen:
http://www.riscos.info/index.php/Autobuilder_Development_and_Packaging
which explains roughly what the autobuilder is about.
