Probably -- someone else on the list would know better than I...

Cheers,
Kieren.

p.s. Here's what I got with a couple of seconds of [non-Scheme] hacking -- 
maybe it will give you some hints:

\version "2.13.13"

musicaFicta = {
  \once \override Voice.AccidentalCautionary #'extra-spacing-width = #'(+inf.0 
. -inf.0)
  \once \override Voice.AccidentalCautionary #'extra-offset = #'(1.8 . 2)
  \once \override Voice.AccidentalCautionary #'font-size = #-3
  \once \override Voice.AccidentalCautionary #'staff-padding = #3
}

\score {
  \relative { c' d e \musicaFicta fis? g c, cis \musicaFicta dis? e }
}
