Extremely simple: render at a higher resolution. Won't require any 
changes to the patch. More pixels, more rays per pixel, same effect of 
more rays.
It is really sounding more and more like a patch just isn't the right 
solution though...nothing you've described can't be done with plain 
scene description language.
As someone mentioned, antialiasing takes multiple samples per pixel, but 
I don't think this is what you want...since I don't really know what 
you're doing, I can't really tell. It will probably take at least some 
modifications to the patch.
