This is certainly possible, under X atleast.

The line would look like this:
"720x480" 15.246 720 762 834 968 480 484 491 525 Composite Interlace

Or

mode "720x480"
   geometry   720 480   1024 8172   8
   timings    65590   134 42   34 4   72 7
   csync high
   laced true
endmode

in fb.modes should work, I reccon.

I don't think Advancemame implements this as of yet, but it shouldn't be 
hard for Andrea to do, just instruct the radeon framebuffer driver to 
give csync high signals
