*Solved*: Here is one method I have found to align the fret diagram with the
chord names and notes. It's not elegant, but it is predictable.
I use "\markup{ \concat {\transparent "4" \hspace #0.3 \custom-fret ...
}}. The "4" is the fret number, and the "#0.3" is the space added due to
the fret label horizontal offset "(fret-label-horizontal-offset . -0.3)".
This offset needs to be adjusted for double digits. However, it is
predictable. Here are the adjustments for the G7 chords:
Here is an image I edited with an external program to illustrate the good
alignment:

Note: You will need to play with the "\hspace" argument to get the
alignment correct if you are not using LilyJAZZ.
I am still interested in defining a fretboard with fret numbers on both
sides---one of them an invisible (phantom) character. This is beyond my
level of expertise. Anyone know how to code this?
