Well, I would use the c preprocessor for that purpose.

just do

#define gracen(x) \slurDown \grace {x8 () s} \slurBoth

in the start of the  program. You then insert your grace as

gracen(d)

notice the missing backslash and the round brackets.
Ofcourse, then, you have to call the c preprocessor on your ly-file:

instead of
$ ly2dvi file.ly
you do
$ cpp file.ly | ly2dvi >file.dvi

I haven't actually tried this, but it should work.
