You can't diff a DVI, they're binary, so you would have to diff the source.

Maybe you need a bit of perl that:

Looks at two revisions of the source file.
Diffs them to find the changed lines.
If the lines contain at least some text, insert a symbol at the start of it.
Runs latex on teh result.

This means you would need to keep a copy of your old source file around, but 
I don't see a way round this. You could use RCS on your source file?
Or is that too much?
