Yes, but chicken before egg? mv_form_profile is designed to check
things *before* an mv_click. An mv_click is an action.

If you want to do another check *after* or *in* an action, there
are many options. First of all, you can just code the check in Perl.
Second, you can set mv_click=some_check_profile and mv_todo=submit.
Third, you can use the UI tag [run-profile].

[set check_something]
	foo=required
[/set]

	[button]
		[if type=explicit compare="[run-profile check_something]"]
			[do-what-you-do]
		[/if]
	[/button]
