Yes, that is the usual "we want quarter notes" mindset.
Use something like:
% for the shown mensuration symbol:
\set Staff.timeSignatureFraction = #'(3 . 2)
% for the actual "bar" length:
\time 3/1

As in mensuration sign + proportion, don't know to handle that.
Perhaps something like:
\set Staff.timeSignatureFraction = #'(3 . 2)
\time 3/1
% some magic things to make two time signs to be shown
\once\override Staff.TimeSignature #'style = #'single-digit
\time 2/1
