I've used the spray oil in the spark plug holes trick.
When you buy a rebuilt engine from the rebuilder, it generally comes
wrapped in polypropolyne sheeting and sealed. Some have had a drying
agent placed in the plastic wrap (I would worry that this might cause
corrosive fumes. Anybody have any data on this?)
You could also store it in such a way that you could start it every
few months. That really isn't too difficult.
