In skin.php you can do

$page = RetrieveAuthPage($pagename, 'read', false, READPAGE_CURRENT);
if (@$page['=auth']['read']) { # visitor has read permission }
if (@$page['=auth']['edit']) { # visitor has edit permission }
etc...

so you can do, for example,

   if (!@$page['=auth']['edit']) SetTmplDisplay('PageFooFmt', 1);

which says "if the visitor isn't authorized to edit, include the
'PageFooFmt' chunk of the template.  In the template you'd have

   <!--PageFooFmt-->
   (Whatever you want to include...)
   <!--/PageFooFmt-->
