Usually you put a statistic like this in the tempFactor field (B) and then 
color by "B-factor" in pymol or similar.

I'm certain there is a facility for filling this entry somewhere. If not, then 
a fairly trivial server is waiting for someone to create it and claim the glory.

Google something like "alignment b-factor" or "clustal b-factor". That's my 
best guess.
