You could use \iffalse ... \fi to protect it from being seen by LaTeX.

Probably with some `eval' statement.  But personally I'd first try to
deal with this by writing a custom style file for the document in
question.  It could include something like

(TeX-add-style-hook
 "my-doc"
 (lambda ()
   (TeX-run-style-hooks "some-package")))
