Not quite optimal because of the need for a separate context and
consequently \voiceTwo:

voiceOttava =
#(define-music-function (parser location ottava music)
  (integer? ly:music?)
  #{
     \new Voice \with { \ottava #ottava
                        \consists "Ottava_spanner_engraver" }
     $music
  #})

\relative c {
  \clef bass
  <<
    {
      <fis cis' g'>1~
      <fis cis' g'>4
    }
    \\
    { r2. \voiceOttava #-1 { \voiceTwo <b,,,~ bes'^~>4 <b bes'>4 } }
  >>
}
