I made some progress, although I'm sure there better and more elegant
solution.

Example:

\version "2.19.52"

%Useful definitions
#(define characters.thinSpace (ly:wide-char->utf-8 #x2009))
#(define characters.longDash (ly:wide-char->utf-8 #x2013))
#(define characters.curvyEqual "≈")

%Properties of the customMark
#(define customMark.parenthesized #t)
#(define customMark.tempoEqText "= ca.")
#(define customMark.separator (string-append characters.thinSpace
characters.longDash characters.thinSpace))

#(define (ly:duration-or-false? obj)
   (if (or (ly:duration? obj) (and (boolean? obj) (not obj)))
       #t
       #f))

#(define (number-or-false? obj)
   (if (or (number? obj) (and (boolean? obj) (not obj)))
       #t
       #f))


customMark =
#(define-music-function
    (text tempo dur val1 val2)
    (markup? boolean? ly:duration-or-false? number-or-false?
number-or-false?)
  #{
    \mark \markup { \line { \upright { \fontsize #-2 {
       \larger { \bold { #text } }
       #(if tempo
            #{
              \markup \concat { %\markup needed to avoid "unknown escaped
string: `\concat'"
                #(if customMark.parenthesized "(")
                #(if dur
                     #{
                       \markup \fontsize #-3 { \general-align #Y #DOWN {
\note #(ly:duration->string dur) #1 } }
                     #}
                     "") %needed to avoid "not a markup" error when dur is
#f
                " "
                #customMark.tempoEqText
                #characters.thinSpace
                #(if val1
                     (number->string val1)
                     "") %needed to avoid "not a markup" error when val1 is
#f
                #(if val2
                     (string-append customMark.separator (number->string
val2))
                     "") %needed to avoid "not a markup" error when val2 is
#f
                #(if customMark.parenthesized ")")
              }
            #}
            "") %needed to avoid "not a markup" error when tempo is #f
     } } } }
  #})


allegro = \customMark "Allegro." ##t 4 120 125
ceder = \customMark "ceder..." ##f ##f ##f ##f
metromark = \customMark "" ##t 4 120 ##f


\relative c' {
  \allegro c4 d e \ceder f \metromark
}

Now, I can't figure out how to achieve that the last 4 parameters of the
function default to ##f, to avoid errors if I don't pass them.

Again, thanks in advance!
