Sure.  Well, you could read the Mercurial book[1], but I think that's
overkill for just one push.  As far as I understand, you want to commit
a patch file without putting it into the series file.  That's easy (e.g.
for a HotSpot patch):

$ cd patches/hotspot/
$ cp ~/cont.patch .
$ hg add cont.patch
$ hg commit -m "cont: New file."
$ hg push

Hmm, and here we may have a problem: commit rights.  Do you have an
OpenJDK username?  Yes, you have:

lstadler	Lukas Stadler	Johannes Kepler University Linz, Austria	

For a successful push you need three things:

1. an OpenJDK username
2. commit rights (Mark can help you here)
3. a valid default or default-push URL

You can check the latter with:

$ hg paths
default = http://hg.openjdk.java.net/mlvm/mlvm/hotspot
default-push = ssh://twisti@hg.openjdk.java.net/mlvm/mlvm/hotspot

Hope that helps.
