Well, i don't know if it is excatly what Peter needs, but with the last 
version of "changePitch.ly", available here :
http://lsr.dsi.unimi.it/LSR/Item?u=1&id=654
you can avoid to repeat several times a chord :
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
\include "changePitch.ly"

melody = \relative {
   c4 d e f g f e d c d e f g f e2
   b4 c d e f e d c b c d e f e d e
   c1
}
patI = \samePitch { c1 c1 c1 c1}
    %% \cPI will automatically repeat 4 times each chords
\score {
 <<
  \new  ChordNames {
       \cPI { <c e g> <g b d'>}
       <c e g>1
  }
  \new Staff \melody
 >>
}
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
(a small doc in pdf format is also available here :
http://gillesth.free.fr/Lilypond/changePitch/ )

Note too, that I have heard (in the lilypond-devel list) of a new symbol : 
"q"  that will allow to remplace the previous chord. I don't know if it is 
already available in the last 2.13 version
