Of course you can:
\new Voice \relative c'''{ \afterGrace a2 ( {g16[ a])} a2 }

Well, you just showed to yourself that your assumption was wrong. 
Actually, as illustrated in
my example above, you rather need \new Voice, not \new Staff, since 
otherwise the \afterGrace
will end up in a separate Voice. In practice this isn't a problem unless 
you happen to have an
\afterGrace on the first note of the piece. As soon as there are some 
other notes before, the Voice
context has already been created by LilyPond.
