As has already been discussed, the question is what the musical meaning of
such a notation would be. Certainly, I can think of printed music, not to
mention hand-written manuscripts, where dynamic marks are placed far from
the note they are intended to match, but it won't help the musician.
If you can show that this notation is established and has a specific
meaning, then it might be interesting to add support in LilyPond. Otherwise,
you will have to live with the more or less clumsy workarounds.

I've seen it fairly frequently.  This sort of effect is also notated like so:

{
  c''1~\p\<
  c''16\f r8. r4 r2
}

Basically, we are trying to indicate a note lasting a whole note, which ends at a certain dynamic.  The above notation is imprecise, of course, but at least it helps guard against the tendency of instrumentalists to cut notes short :)
