Has anyone ever worked out what it means (or should mean) for a
homomorphism f:(A,a) -> (B,b) between F-algebras to be differentiable?

Analogies to other settings in which derivatives can be defined makes me
believe that the result should be a morphism f' between two
F'-algebras.  When F is a polynomial functor, napkin-level-mathematics
indicates this isn't completely wrong...
