Check out the variable org-agenda-todo-keyword-format. 

E.g.,

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(setq org-agenda-custom-commands
      '(("x" "Special" todo "SPECIAL"
	      ((org-agenda-todo-keyword-format "")))))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

The variable org-agenda-prefix-format might also be of interest.

Best,
Matt
