you can run py2 the testsuite without installing and even without X with:
LC_ALL=C.UTF-8 PATH=$PWD/IPython/scripts/:$PATH PYTHONPATH=$PWD xvfb-run -s "-screen 0 1280x1024x24 -noreset" python $PWD/IPython/scripts/iptest -v;

this is what the debian package does.
I still did not have time to look at running py3 tests but it should be possible to run it from the build directory with a little wrapper script to call the entry point.
Now that debian has py3 nose I should have a look at that.
