You can have the pedal line be a line drawing of Grumpy Cat if you want.  ;)
In other words: yes, this is a style [of pedal bracket] that Lilypond can support.

Cheers,

I always thought the traditional "Ped." looked a bit like an elephant...

Anyway, yes, Kieren's right.  You can replace the drawing with whatever you'd like.  You'd simply need to come up with a replacement stencil function.  There will be a bit of complication for markings that stretch across system breaks, but that's also doable.

Maybe later today I'll get a chance to work something out--something similar to get you started.
