I think what you're looking for is StrokeType: http://docs.oracle.com/javafx/2/api/javafx/scene/shape/StrokeType.html

The main problem is that I don't get a border to grow inside while keeping the bounds-in-parent unchanged. Maybe fx-border-insets is part of the solution but then I am not sure how this works (and the documentation does not say).
