Well, why not set it to the genuine article?

:compiler rubyunit
:setlocal makeprg=make

If you like you can add this to one of the appropriate runtime files.
Maybe something like: 

-- ~/.vim/after/ftplugin/ruby.vim --
compiler rubyunit
setlocal makeprg=make
------------------------------------

Or you could write your own compiler plugin using the 'efm' from
rubyunit.vim and setting 'makeprg' to make.

I fear I am missing something... ;-)

I only suggested it since you asked how to "modify the test/unit" which
I didn't quite understand but read to mean that you wanted to modify the
Test::Unit library. I assume this would probably be easier from Rake.

I'd have to agree, but I actually use neither - I use
http://a-a-p.sf.net/ instead! :-)
