I've always assumed the best way is your last suggestion.

ie. create a patch of your changes from the 2.6.33 git repo, then pull
down a fresh 2.6.34 and apply your patch.  Fixing any issues you have
at that time.

But I've never tried to apply a distro patch (2.6.33 to 2.6.34) to a
locally patched git repo, so my info is again an assumption.
