One possibility would be:

\version "2.19.81"

\new Staff {
  \time 6/8
  <<
    { \once \override MultiMeasureRest.staff-position = #10
      R2. | r4. e'''~ \hideNotes e'''2. }
    \\
    { g''2.~ | g''~
      \oneVoice <e''' g''>2.~ | q |
    }
  >>
}

If you don't want to continue inside a << \\ >> construct, try

\version "2.19.81"

\new Staff {
  \time 6/8
  <<
    {
      \voiceTwo g''2.~ | g''~
    }
    \new Voice {
      \voiceOne \once \override MultiMeasureRest.staff-position = #10
      R2. | r4. e'''~ \hideNotes e'''2.*0
    }
  >>
  \oneVoice <e''' g''>2.~ | q |
}

Explanation: << { } \\ { } >> is a shorthand which creates two new 
(named) voices. Just taking << { } \new Voice { } >> makes sure the 
first { } pair creates music in the "main" voice which is active outside 
the << >>.
