The secret is to keep your equipment warm(er), then when the trapped humid
air condenses, it condenses on a colder surface, hopefully eventually
running down to the hole you left at the lowest point. The existence of such
a hole, that is a non fully sealed package, means there is less chance for
ingested hot humid air to be trapped and condense in the first place.
Sometimes you need to dissipate power in your system simply to create the
elevated temperature if otherwise your system is so efficient. Unless you
are going to start helium leak test, I seriously doubt the your airtight
package is. I have been known to add a always on light bulb, for example.

..............That said, I'd be worried about temperature/humidity cycling
as 
mentioned by others, because you will never get a 100% hermetic seal 
-- so some version of a weep hole and other moisture preventive 
measures may be in order.

Best regards,

Charles
