You can do something like

Ooh. People are using pre-fetch as an "initializer" for the Portfile? Ugh. I never thought of that scenario, but had Landon and I been really using our noodles back then, we would have added start and end actions (which did nothing by default) for precisely this purpose, also guaranteeing each to be the very first and last things run, respectively.

I'm tempted to go add this myself right now, but it's too good of a "junior ports hacker" project to deny someone else the learning experience and satisfaction involved. ;-)
