"NTSC color palette generation" is gibberish. If you mean NTSC fringing and other artifacts (like the "NTSC filter" in NEStopia/bsnes/etc), HLSL can do that right now. If you mean drivers using YIQ-space math to derive the RGB palette, the drivers that need to largely already do.
We plan long-term to simply output the correct "raw" data from the drivers and have HLSL do the full NTSC simulation, but obviously that can't happen until there's an OpenGL version. I would be a cranky vampire hunter if I suddenly couldn't use my own Apple II driver ;-)
