Hmm, I think this recipe will do what you want:
http://www.pmwiki.org/wiki/Cookbook/PageListWikiTrail

but you lead me to suggest a new tag called  (:trailist :) 
which acts just like pagelist in a page except that trails
know to look for it and insert the output into the list at
the current location?

  This would allow me to have pagelists and traillists mixed
on a trail page.  The pagelists would be ignored when
getting the pages in the trail, but the traillists would be
included.

  Just a crazy thought, :)
