Google Analytics: is there a way to re-trackPageview

I have a situation where _trackPageview will be called. Then, afterwards I have a _customVar populated.

Is there any way to get this into the page tracking without doing another _trackPageview or _trackEvent. We don't want duplicate page views, and we don't want to interfere with existing event-based reports.

Nope. You need to send some kind of hit. It's usually better to fire with a dummy Event that is non-interactive.

_gaq.push(['_setCustomVar', 1, 'name', 'val', 1]);
_gaq.push(['_trackEvent', 'CV', 'set', '', 0, true]); //non interactive event

you can also use another hit type like Social or Timming event. That will make it not show up on the event reports and if you don't use Social or timing reports it might be good. But I would recommend sticking to the normal Event and just ignore it from the reports.
