Short answer: it is not standard, and I don't recommend doing it.
I'll preface this by saying that I am not really giving you an answer. I don't have time for digging into the code to do what you want to do - I am currently admin at a company that doesn't use the notes client calendar.
But, from prior experience, I have a few thoughts for you:
(1)calendar is part of the mail template. (If you didn't already know that you are probably in over your head already.)...edits the the mail template are unsupported, so if you have a problem with mail - related or not - the first thing IBM will likely have you do is switch back to the default template.
(2)the function you are asking for would typically be accomplished with some type of @now or time comparison in the view...there's a lot of overhead and it slows down entry to the view.
(3)unlike dynamic browser calendars, the notes client doesn't sit there refreshing the calendar, so if the user opens their calendar and leaves it open without making any changes, that line will stay in the same place all day...unless you add code to make it sit there refreshing periodically...more overhead
> So what you're asking to do, when done in the client, is likely to create a level of slowness barely worth having the line for.
BUT more importantly, what I often find is behind requests like these is that some person at the company "doesn't like Notes because it doesn't do X". We all want to please our users and want them to like Notes...but often users with requests/nitpicks like this one will not be pleased even if we can make Notes jump off their screen and run circles around yahoo/gmail.
So, my advice is before you spend any further time that you get the business justification for "show me the line" versus "look at your clock". Especially as this justification compares to any of the vastly more useful improvements you could be spending your time on.
Good luck to you! Sincerely.
