I don't think so, at least not always (or rather, I don't think adding 
targets really matters).  For example, I don't think my resolveall[1] 
script should be external because it does what Nmap would do anyway (and 
in the same way), it just doesn't discard extra addresses.  Also I don't 
think my patch[2] for the snmp-interfaces script to add interface 
addresses to the target queue really qualifies either because it doesn't 
do anything "external" to grabbing interface information via SNMP from 
the target host.
