Here's what I did...

In my build.eant file I added the following line:

<redefine target="test"/>

I then copied the "test" target from test.eant and added the 
following line to it:

<define name="device" value="${device}" if="${device}"/>

I think this is better than editing test.eant but still not great. 
Then in my test class I added the following code:

device_name: STRING is
		-- The device name used for testing.
	once
		if variables.has ("device") then
			Result := variables.value ("device")
		elseif operating_system.is_windows then
			Result := "COM1"
		else
			Result := "/dev/ttyS0"
		end
	ensure
		exists: Result /= Void
		set_from_command_line:
			variables.has ("device") implies
			Result.is_equal (variables.value ("device"))
		windows_default:
			not variables.has ("device") and
			operating_system.is_windows implies
			Result.is_equal ("COM1")
		posix_default:
			not variables.has ("device") and
			operating_system.is_unix implies
			Result.is_equal ("/dev/ttyS0")
	end

Thanks for the help,
Brian
