if you go really slowly, and don't mind go really slowly, you can give the saber saw little bursts, and keep checking and checking and do it. But that's an afternoon that requires at least a beer or two with dinner after. It doesn't hurt to set the speed of the saber saw low either.. additional advice, set the front guard of the machine as close to the blade as possible for slightly longer power on states.
Rapidly ta ta ta tapping a rather think chisel around could do it if the work isn't thick. Less nerve racking that way. I'd start off that way as well to make the line really distinct after the scribe line is complete.
