That should probably be left up to the maintainer to do before
committing the port... for example, none of the p5-* ports run a "make
test" during the build stage, but before I ever commit a new/updated p5
port I run a "make test" to see that it works OK...

Perhaps we should adopt OpenBSD's testing/regress infrastructure for
ports?
