As Dave said, adding 'differential_braking_scale = 1.0' will provide automatic differential braking in the direction you have your rudder control turned. Turn the rudder and apply your normal brake control. ( the 'brake' message changes to 'differential brake')
If what your looking for is proportional differential braking, that can be done by assigning a seperate axis control for each brake. Don't see how you can do that with the twist as that is a single axis.
Some joystick programming software, like Saitek's SST, allows you to program an axis to emulate 2 key presses which you could assign to L and R brake, but that provides on-off braking like the normal brake key presses. If you have a registered (payed for) install of FSUIPC, I believe you do the same.
On the other hand, are you simply looking for a better way to steer planes with free swiveling tail wheels, like the DC-3? That can be done with an edit in the aircraft.cfg file [contact_points] section. It makes the wheel steerable, connected to the rudder control so no diff. braking is required.

At that time [1909] the chief engineer was almost always the chief test pilot as well. That had the fortunate result of eliminating poor engineering early in aviation.
