A flash archive, as suggested by Michele, is definitely the best way to go.

If that's not an option, you can get a list of all patches installed on 
host b (in the correct order) with "ls -rt /var/sadm/patch/". You could 
then feed this list into "pca -i" on host a. Never tried that in a 
real-world scenario, though. E.g. some driver patches might not apply to 
host a, if it isn't the same architecture as host b.
