Would it be enough if only pointyhat was running the tests, and not the end 
users?  If so, you could consider using regression-test: target for this work. 
It's being run on pointyhat as part of the package builds.

The selftest takes 0.76 CPU seconds on my vintage 300 MHz K6-2 machine, 
you can't even download the source in that time unless you're in the 
same LAN as a SourceForge mirror, let alone configure and build the 
package which takes 107 CPU seconds. So we're talking about a few bytes 
and 0.7% increase of build time. I think this is negligible. 

Since the upstream maintainer isn't using FreeBSD for development and 
I've had to patch away several regressions in e2fsprogs where this 
package was split from, I'd sleep better at night if we could run the 
selftest everywhere, particularly given the very low cost.
