Hi Stan,

The short answer is yes. I think there's even a concise example in the
Lilypond Snippet Repository as well. Here's how I do it:

...

g1 \bar "||"   % 23

\once \override Score.RehearsalMark #'self-alignment-X = #right
\mark \markup { \italic { D.S. al Coda (2nd end.) } }

\stopStaff s1 \startStaff
\set Score.currentBarNumber = #24

% Coda

\once \override Score.RehearsalMark #'self-alignment-X = #left
\mark \markup { { \musicglyph #"scripts.coda" } "Coda" }

...

The current bar number is reset in order to make the bar count on
subsequent lines display correctly. Otherwise, your bar count will be
off by one. ;-)
