I would be concerned that the compression of a diesel would cause
the fogging oil to combust. I've never heard of fogging a diesel, but
there might be some special product for preserving one.

I have had good results with the aerosol fogging stuff (Auto parts store
or West Marine) for storing gasoline engines, but have not used it with a
diesel.
Normally you spray it into the air intake while the engine is just running
out of the last fuel in the float bowl.
On a diesel I think I would just crank it with the fuel off to coat the
cylinders walls and valves.
Close off the intake and exhaust to keep moisture out and over fill the
crankcase with oil.
Be sure to leave yourself a note to drain the excess before you crank it
again.

Recently coming into possession of said engine, I'd like to make sure it
doesn't deteriorate while being stored in a garage for possibly a year
or more.

What should this require ?

Appreciatively,
Courtney
