SubscribeClockskew’s hidden patch enabler is a PPC bundle and he never released the source code. Also, he seems to have disappeared off the net entirely and has not answered his emails or updated his blog for over six months. I’m hoping someone else can duplicate his work but in the meantime use this patch that contains one of each hidden patch and will load fine on Intel mac’s.
I believe that ClockSkew’s blog contains enough information for someone else to make a hidden patch enabler universal binary easily but I’m not familar enough with Cocoa frameworks to try this myself.
Even better, Apple how about just enabling these patches in Mac OS X 10.4.7? They are very very useful to Quartz Composer developers and the work on them has already been done. Please?
Download my Quartz Comp with one of each hidden patch. This will load and run fine on a machine without the enabler patch, just copy paste these patches as much as you want in your own composition as a temporary solution for using these on Intel macs.

I used clock works patch and ran Quartz Composer in Rosetta to get those patches. But I wonder what happends to a .qtz file if it contains non universal patches (the private ones are universal).
On the other hand the flame patch includes an ugly big endian bug, destroying the color on intel macs. (On PowerPC it’s red/yellow flames by default on intel something blue.)
