I may be missing something... but don't you just want this section  
from "p4 help diff":

                 -sa     Opened files that are different from the  
revision
                         in the depot, or missing.

                 -sd     Unopened files that are missing on the client.

                 -se     Unopened files that are different from the  
revision
                         in the depot.

                 -sr     Opened files that are the same as the  
revision in the
                         depot.
