Even if it gets to operating temp, the oil won't get hot enough to boil of moisture.

Just don't start it. Let it sit undisturbed and give it a good long drive once you finally revive it and put it back into DD service.

I'd change the oil before storing to remove acids and replenish the additives present in the sump. Acids will etch crank bearings if left to sit. New oil will be better suited to tolerate the storage.
