If you don't mind a potential delay after publishing the other app, then you could query Cyrket for its package name. For instance: "http://www.cyrket.com/p/android/com.blau.android.richer/"; You will get a 200 (success) response if the app is available on the market, or a 404 (page not found) if not. Careful not to pound the Cyket server with requests though, or you're likely to get blocked.
I think a more sensible solution would be to handle this yourself, publish the app with the event triggering a simple "Coming soon" dialog, then publish another version with the Intent added as soon as the other app is on the market.
