To alleviate this you may tune your suspension to have less oversteer and more Understeer so that the acceleration around a turn is not so substantial.

Also, it does not take much skill to slide the rear end around
So is there an accepted front/rear mass ratio to aim for which will help achieve a well handling package? There are a number of V6 engines and transmissions combinations possible, I'm guessing some are preferable to others from purely a mass distribution standpoint.

I think sliding it won't be the biggest challenge, how to control it and not damaging the bodywork is !
