With the patch I just posted to the concurrent thread concerning
embedding elisp in remember templates, this should easily be achieved
via something like

  %(x-clipboard-yank)

or you could even define a wrapper function `x-clipboard-yank-safely'
which watches out for the case where the clipboard contents are large
and handles the situation accordingly, then use it via

  %(x-clipboard-yank-safely)

Though `%c' is easier to type, of course :-)
