there's a broken makeOctaves script in LSR which does exactly that.
David Kastrup posted a simpler alternative function here:
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/lilypond-user/2012-04/msg00312.html

makeDuped will take music as an argument and apply the given
transformation to all notes. (want to create a sequence of 4-6 chords:
\makeDuped g <c' e'> { a b c d }, etc.). really handy function. :)
