careful: define() has nothing to do with custom functions.
You create a definded *type*. You do not call a define, you create
instances, resource-like entities that comprise multiple resources each.

Suppose your defined type is define mycooltype() { }.
package { "whatever": before => Mycooltype["cool-type-entity"] }
If your question was geared to the effect of "i want my custom type to
be defined after the package was ensured", well, that doesn't make
sense. Chains and require/before are used to control the order of agent
operation. That's all you need to worry about. At what time the *master*
processes your define() is not important at all.
Caveat:
mycooltype { "cool-type-entity": require => Package["whatever"] }
will *not* work out of the box. See defined types in
http://docs.puppetlabs.com/guides/language_guide.html#resource-collections
for details.
