The construct doesn't really make sence and hence cannnot be achieved in 
lilypond.
Ofcourse you could hack up something by using two seperate voices, like 
this:

\score {
        \context Staff \notes \relative c' {
            < { \slurDown e2()c4}
              \context Voice=another { \slurUp g'2()e4}
            >
            \slurBoth r
            | [c'8 \grace d16 c16 b] [c8-. d-.] e4 r2
        }
}

But notice that it is a hack - the two voices get different stems (that 
in this case just happens to overlap so that they look like one stem) - 
in other cases you might have to twiddle with stemUp and stemDown to get 
correct results. With beams/flags you would have problems.
