If you write ...

%%% BEGIN %%%

\new Staff {
  \once \override Accidental #'transparent = ##t
  cis'2
}

%%% END %%%

... you'll get the effect of the sharp sign not printing.

(The sharp sign does actually print, but it prints transparently. This
means that the transparent accidental consumes space in the horizontal
layout (which you might notice, but only if you've got *very* dense
music). So this might get you what you want.)
