You mean, a type that already exists?
Not really.  This kind of thing is done by
overriding the class's manage_beforeDelete method
(most likely wrapping the old manage_beforeDelete).

For meta_types that come with Zope or somebody else's
products, you could either patch the product
or do a MonkeyPatch.
