Hi again, I will try to answer to myself ...

I have defined the "RUNTEST" knob in "OPTIONS_DEFINE" variable, and 
after:

RUNTEST_VARS=           TEST_TARGET=test

The last line enable the "do-test" target properly when the knob is set 
(see bsd.port.mk system Makefile)

But I do not know how to invoke automatically that target when user just 
run "make". Indeed I am thinking if really is a good idea to force the 
execution of "make test" by mean of the knob ... In some other ports I 
am seeing, this is enterelly optional.
