xymond_alert?
You only need to replace the xymond binary. When this is compiled, it includes code from the xymond_alert.c file. The patch was for the xymond_alert.c file.
You could either compile the 4.3.28 source code and copy the xymond binary into place, or you could replace xymond_alert.c in your 4.3.11 code tree and recompile it (and then copy the xymond binary into place).

xymond_alert *should* be okay in this regards, but it's always preferable to update the entire server at once when possible.
In particular: xymonnet, xymond_client and xymond_rrd should *not* be updated to current releases in this way for a 4.3.11 install as the default format of the "combo" messages generated by the internal tools changed in 4.3.13 in a way that's not backwards compatible for the older xymond. (The packed "extcombo" format is used instead, which is much more efficient to parse.)
