The grsecurity patch should be applied first, then the 2.4.28 secfix 
patch (if you're patching 2.4.28).  The secfix patch includes all the 
fixes applied to the grsec-sources kernel package of gentoo, along with 
some other fixes.
You can view a listing of the fixes in the grsec-sources tree at:
http://gentoo.kems.net/gentoo-x86-portage/sys-kernel/grsec-sources/files/
and the other fixes at:
http://www.exinferis.de/linux/kernel/security/2.4.28/

I've uploaded a new secfix patch that has the date in the filename.
