Best way I can think of is comparing the items to a known list of vanilla DF items and either not allowing you to receive it, or sending the required raw files along with it and giving the receiver a prompt to allow the mod.
EDIT: It should probably also add the filename of the mod and creature to the end of the readme to keep with Toady's request and so the receiver knows where the file is so he can delete it if he doesn't like it.</STRONG>

The problem with mods in this case is that afaik a lot of them require a new world generated that includes the mod from the getgo, so you can't add in new creatures or anything else after the fact although you can alter existing ones after world generation.

Yep, it's like Calvinball, one of the funnest games ever.
