I put the following together some time ago:

(defun toggle-frame-fullscreen ()
  "Toggle current frame fullscreen"
  (interactive)
  (if (eq (frame-parameter nil 'fullscreen) 'fullboth)
      (fullscreen-disable)
    (fullscreen-enable)))

(defun fullscreen-enable ()
  (menu-bar-mode -1)
  (set-frame-parameter nil 'fullscreen 'fullboth))

(defun fullscreen-disable ()
  (set-frame-parameter nil 'fullscreen nil)
  (sleep-for 0.0001)
  (menu-bar-mode 1))


It doesn't work very well, sometimes the frame is not resized back
correctly, I suspect a race condition somewhere when the menu bar is
removed/added and the fullscreen variable is set, but I didn't delved
too deep in the code, I put  a (somewhat hackish) small delay that
makes it work most of the times...
