Of course—the real problem here is that you have to make the hairpin 
ignore the markup for its placement. Here’s a fidgety solution:

%%%%%%%%%%
\version "2.19.83"

placeAbsolute = #(define-event-function (xy ev) (pair? ly:music?)
                   #{
                     \tweak whiteout ##t
                     \tweak outside-staff-priority ##f
                     \tweak Y-offset 0
                     \tweak extra-offset $xy
                     $ev
                   #})

\relative c'
{
  c2 d e\< f g-\placeAbsolute #'(0 . -4)  _"C" f\! e d c
}
%%%%%%%%%%%
