public Action:MyCallback( Handle:hTimer )
{
    // do my fire-once logic

There is no better way unless BAILOPAN or whoever else is working on SourcePAWN adds a new way.

After so many years, here's the improved version.

stock void SetPawnTimer(Function func, float thinktime = 0.1, const any[] args, const int len)
{
	DataPack thinkpack = new DataPack();
	thinkpack.WriteFunction(func);
	thinkpack.WriteCell(len);
	for( int i; i<len; i++ )
		thinkpack.WriteCell(args[i]);
	CreateTimer(thinktime, DoPawnTimer, thinkpack, TIMER_DATA_HNDL_CLOSE);
}

public Action DoPawnTimer(Handle t, DataPack pack)
{
	pack.Reset();
	Function fn = pack.ReadFunction();
	Call_StartFunction(null, fn);
	
	int len = pack.ReadCell();
	for( int i; i<len; i++ ) {
		any param = pack.ReadCell();
		Call_PushCell(param);
	}
	Call_Finish();
	return Plugin_Continue;
}
