I read a post from Ken (CEO) of Sierra saying that the guy who did all the
3D work apparently left to go to a hardware company...One of the reasons
why 3DFX owners will not see a patch anytime soon.
I was curious, does this mean that the anti-aliasing patch is on
indefinite hold ? :(

Partly correct. Mike Newhall was the person in charge of the Rendition
code for N2, and he has apparently left for another company. Papyrus
then consolodated the other in-house programmers (familiar with the code)
to have a working copy for release. It is these programmers who will be
working on any proposed anti-alaizing patch, but I'm not sure what they
have in mind for a schedule.
N2 doesn't support 3DFX, only the Speedy3D code for the Verite chip
(on the Rendition-based cards).
