You could possibly check if it's defined before re defining it. If it wasn't an exported resource it might be easier but not sure how to achieve that when realizing exported resources. Tags may help. I just put my hostgroup definitons in a separate class and then set the hostgroups on each host.

I haven't needed to do anything like that but I have seen mention of at least one tool for doing puppetdb queries posted on the list. Good luck!
