There is no need for this. Most PAL TVs can handle 60 Hz VCS output quite nicely. The picture will be vertically centered with black bars above and below. It's only important that you do 3 uninterrupted scanlines of VSYNC. And it would be better, if you'd turn on VBLANK after the last line of display to make sure that the black bars really are black.
