You can make everything into variables already: Just do
allegro = \markup{ Allegro \small \note #3 #1 #1 "=" 120 }
, as Mats suggested, and use
c4^\allegro
to print that tempo indication.

If you want to set midi tempo as well, you could do

allegro = \notes {\tempo 8.=120 s32^\markup{ Allegro \small \note #3 #1 #1 "=" 
120 } }

and then use <<c4 \allegro>>

(then it could also be a good idea to suppress the paper output from \tempo, 
which I don't know how to do)
