Yes, since tempoText can take any \markup commands.

So in your snippet, all you need to do is change your rhythmMark
function so that the \score markup is set to tempoText; setting it
automatically creates a metronome mark:

\set Score.tempoText = \markup { ... }

Then you can junk the polyphonic section with the skips and the
metronome mark will be aligned with the first note in the bar.
