No, a new entry in Preferences -> Fonts & Colors will be able to  
style e.g.: “dyn.changed-since-save.inserted” to target all  
insertions done since last save, or similar.

Adding stuff to the gutter sounds more like a job for AppleScript,  
and unlikely this will be possible to combine with showing changes  
done to the file -- well, with the exception of my (even more long  
term) plan of allowing an xpath-inspired query language to query a  
document (based on scopes), which could then combine the query for  
the dynamic “changed” scopes with using AS (or similar) to use  
whatever API I may create to fiddle with the gutter -- and then have  
this run periodically.

But don't get your hopes up -- this is something I see happen maybe  
in TextMate 5.0 or so…
