Standard way to run test target in specific port

Hello FreeBSD ports!

I am porting a backup software (bup backup), and the upstream Makefile 
has a "test" target. I find useful to make a port knob to allow run such 
test (disabled by default). What is the best way to accomplish that 
task? Is there any doc or "best practique" to watch for?

I am thinking in write something like this:


RUNTEST_DESC=   Run test suite # knob

.....

.if ${PORT_OPTIONS:MRUNTEST}
post-build:
        ${GMAKE} ${MAKE_ARGS} -C ${WRKDIR}/${PORTNAME}-${PORTVERSION} test
.endif


But it seems very contrived and ugly.


You can find the full shar file in 219174 (with no test target  
deployed).


Thanks for your help!
