Hops have natural antiseptic properties. I've never altered them, just thrown them in "dry".
If you are worried about it, the easiest way would be to take a small glass jar, pour your dry hops in (I usually use .5 or 1 oz, but have used as much as 2 oz before) and then add ~2 oz of vodka to it, just enough to dampen the hops.
Let the vodka steep for 10 minutes and it should kill any "bugs" and then pitch it into the fermenter (including the liquid). The vodka should be in such a small amount that it should have no discernable effect on taste.
