In Stata 12, -margins- has new options for computing contrasts of margins.
These new features are documented in -[R] margins, contrast-.

For Robert's example above, simply add a contrast operator in the -over()-
option:

        . margins , over(r.sex) contrast

Following up on my own post, the Stata reference manual (p. 1085) confirms that you don't need the contrast option in this case. But it adds that "The contrast option is useful mostly for its suboptions, which control the output and how contrasts are estimated in more complicated situations." I won't even try to explain those sub-options -- see the manual for more.
