Not really. Keep in mind that LO's configure has --with-system-cppunit, which people do make use of. The existing patches fix bugs or warnings, and should have been upstreamed if there were a living upstream. They do not introduce features.
That said, AFAIU, xUnit in general and CppUnit in particular does support the notion of finer-grained test suites, allowing one to execute only a subset of a given set of tests. Never looked into how that works, though.
