I would do it as a paired-test (see the wiki). You may have to re-run 
mris_preproc with the --paired-diff flag, then smooth by 10mm. Use this 
as the input to mri_glmfit. Set up the FSGD with the categorical and 
continuous variables (note that the FSGD file will have only a single 
entry per subject). Create your contrasts and run mri_glmfit. Overwrite 
the sig.mgh with the one from LME. Then run mri_glmfit-sim with the 
--cache option (not permutation)

I don't know what your contrast of interest is, so I can't help you 
there. In the end, it does not matter because you are overwriting the 
sig map anyway. You just need a contrast as a place holder.
