Thanks for your reply.
Well, it looks like you are hard-coding the -D line into the plugin config.
In my situation, would this work?
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-surefire-plugin</artifactId>
<version>2.4.3</version>
<configuration>
<argline>-Dsomeparameter=${someparameter}</argline>
</configuration>
</plugin>
If so, then yes, that solves my problem!
