You can use arbitrary markup in a \tempo directive.  For instance, in my 
current work I have this (because I wanted no brackets and a smaller 
note symbol):

   \tempo \markup {\bold "Leggero "
                   \teeny \general-align #Y #DOWN \note {4.} #1
                   \medium "= 126"}

Change the literal = to ~ and you're there.
