Matthew, you probably want to have a short, dedicated gybing tack line. Attach it prior to the gybe (I'm thinking "inside" of pole). Gybe pole and pre-set it, then gybe sail. When done, remove temporary tack line.
At least that's how I hope it will work. I've never done it but will find out this spring.
