As long as you only want text you can; use a (string?)

\version "2.5.23"
\layout {
  \context { \Score \remove "Mark_engraver" }
  \context { \Staff \consists "Mark_engraver" }
}

tempoMark = #(def-music-function (parser location markp) (string?)
              #{ \once \override Staff . RehearsalMark 
#'self-alignment-X = #-1
                 \once \override Staff . RehearsalMark 
#'no-spacing-rods = ##t
                 %% eventually, some other overrides here
                 \mark \markup { \bold \italic $markp } #})

{
  \tempoMark #"foo"
  c'
}


I like this solution a lot better than my old one; thanks!
