See 
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.1/Documentation/user/out-www/lilypond/Polyphony.html

You can either play around with ShiftOnn etc, or you can use \voiceOne,
\voiceTwo etc. instead of \stemUp,\stemDown. \voiceOne and \voiceThree have 
stems up, \voiceTwo,\voiceFour have stems down.

actually it is sufficient just to leave out stem*, and swap the order of the 
voices, since \\ automatically inserts \voice*:
 <<{b2}\\{c,!2 dis4}\\{fis8([ g-0]) e[ b'-0] a[ g]}>>
