I don't think so, and I don't think it's to come: this is not even a
feature too common in amateur-grade DTP applications.

But if you were to choose 'bold-narrow, you'd get the same as selecting
a condensed font for this syllable.  It might look okay if you just use
this for a syllable, depending on the very font and the difference
between the variants.  Otherwise, try something like \markup \scale
#'(0.97 . 1) "syllable"; that's about all I can come up with.
