Sure, if you used a gradient or solid color to draw the background in
the first place.  Just give the starting color an alpha of 0 and the
ending color an alpha of 1.

Or you could follow Ken Ferry's advice and take the direct approach by
applying a gradient mask to the context before drawing the text.
That's probably the best way to do it.
