The easiest way would be faking it with the background color, like Chris suggested.
Let's say, you'd do a defined background color change during a scannline like this:
<-- Green --><--------- normal BG color ------------> | Cycle X
Now, you'd always change the background color at the beginning of a scannline and again on cycle X. Now you can easily draw a growing red PF bar within the green bar.
