Hi Elliott,

Sorry, we don't support that for PSL/pslx custom tracks at this point.  
However, we do show differences for MAF custom tracks 
(http://hgwdev-angie.cse.ucsc.edu/FAQ/FAQformat.html#format5), and blat can 
write MAF as output (-out=maf).  

BAM custom tracks show base differences, look more like the native-track PSL 
display, and only the needed parts are uploaded (like bigWig and bigBed), but 
psl to BAM conversion is more work than it should be 
(http://generic-model-organism-system-database.450254.n5.nabble.com/Getting-sequences-into-a-BAM-file-td454848.html).
  We have a to-do item to make a PSL to bam converter, but unfortunately there 
are many higher-priority items so I can't say when we'll get to that.  

Hope that helps and please let us know if you have more questions,
Angie
