In principle it should be as simple as using \grace rather than
\acciaccatura:

   \grace c'8 \glissando e'4

... the trouble I think is the spacing, which means the gliss line is
too short to be seen.

So, as per the Notation Reference on horizontal spacing,
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.12/Documentation/user/lilypond/Horizontal-spacing-overview#Horizontal-spacing-overview

you can try to insert some padding:

    \grace c'8 \glissando
    \override Score.NonMusicalPaperColumn #'padding = #10
    e'4

... altering the padding value as necessary, and the gliss line should
become visible.

Off the top of my head I can't remember how to add the slash / to the
grace note, if you want that, but I'm sure it's somewhere in the
documentation on grace notes.

Best wishes,
