Yes, the snippet in tips-and-tricks/boxed-stencil.ly does exactly what I want.

For anyone too lazy to click over to t&t, code like this will box an
arbitrary grob -- so long as the layout object creating the grob
implements a print function:

  \override Stem  #'print-function = #(make-stencil-boxer 0.05 0.25 Stem::print)

Thanks, Mats.
