Easy;  Make a registration mask (a hole in each corner[1][2], say 1mm
dia) and etch that first then drill.  Make a front and rear mask that
include the registration holes to allow you to achieve the correct
alignment.

[1]  These holes are often later drilled out to accommodate mounting
pillars.
[2]  They don't have to be the corners of a rectangle.  Sometimes it's
helpful to have one hole offset, since that makes it harder to flip an
etch mask inadvertently.
