Pass the finger number as a parameter:

\version "2.18.2"

tir = #(define-event-function (fingnum)
                (number?)
                #{
                  \rightHandFinger $fingnum
                #})

apo = #(define-event-function (fingnum)
                (number?)
                #{
                  \tweak digit-names ##("P" "I" "M" "A" "X")
                  \rightHandFinger $fingnum
                #})


{ c'\tir 1 f'\apo 2 }


But I've never seen upper case letters used to indicate stroke 
fingering, and there must be several hundred commercially engraved 
guitar scores in my collection. For lower case stroke fingering, the 
following is much simpler to enter and easier to read (you can't use 
lower case p or a, as p is a dynamic indication and a is a note name, so 
I use upper case for the shortcuts):

P=\rightHandFinger #1
I=\rightHandFinger #2
M=\rightHandFinger #3
A=\rightHandFinger #4

{ c'\P f'\I }
