Markers are positioned on the map with GLatLngs (geographic
coordinates).
The API includes these two functions that may help you achieve your
desired result:
http://code.google.com/apis/maps/documentation/javascript/v2/reference.html#GMap2.fromContainerPixelToLatLng
http://code.google.com/apis/maps/documentation/javascript/v2/reference.html#GMap2.fromLatLngToDivPixel

If you run into trouble, post a link to your map.
