Getting errors when trying to build this, it seems to rely on something already being in /usr/lib/modules/3.10.3-1-ARCH/build
Does this rely on some kernel source package or something?

Looks like it: linux-headers package. Could that be added to the dependencies, please?

I just tried to makepkg for acpi_call-git package and it fails because
of rejected acpi_call-x86_64.patch. I compared the patch and original file
and they are with the same changes. As a local fix I used:
--- PKGBUILD 2013-08-17 03:36:47.690127666 +0300
+++ PKGBUILD 2013-08-17 03:37:31.380127165 +0300

- msg "Patching for x86_64 systems"
- patch -p1 -i ${srcdir}/acpi_call-x86_64.patch
- fi
## Build
make
I think that patch should be removed too.

Confirming `makepkg` fails and flagging as out-of-date due to contents of acpi_call-x86_64.patch being included in upstream as of 02-Jun-2013:
https://github.com/mkottman/acpi_call/commit/b41b5d9c3e309a207547eb2b3e45237fbadd0bbc

I've used the default PKGBUILD on my 32-bit system and it went just fine:
