You could use a "global" variable containing the key changes.

\version "2.14.1"
Music = {
% \key d \major
a b c d | a b c d |
% \key d \minor
a bes c d | a bes c d |
}
global = {
\key d \major
s1*2 |
\key d \minor
s1*2 |
}
\score {

\new Staff {
% without altering the key signature

\global
\transpose b c' \relative c ' { \Music }

\new Staff {
% altering the key signature
\transpose b c' {

\global
\relative c ' { \Music }

}
}

}

Personally, I would use the \relative within the "Music".
Music = \relative c' {
% etc.
}
and then, in \score , simply \Music (without the \relative c' ).
Cheers,
Xavier
