All the other preparation steps such as ./configure or patching should not harm either, likely rather be necessary. Hence, you could just try to rerun makepkg, providing that the $srcdir is still in the state after the last successful build. In fact, I already had problems doing this. Suppose a sed script replacing 'x' by 'xx', inline. In such cases one might consider using the --noprepare flag. In any case, it is a good idea to read the PKGBUILD (as always) and possibly modify it or even do all the work manually.
