The junit task supports the sysproperty element which allows you to do
this, e.g.
<junit printsummary="yes" haltonfailure="no" fork="yes"
dir="${unit.test.dir}">
<sysproperty key="conf.dir" value="${unit.test.conf}"/>
<sysproperty key="log4j.configuration"
value="file:${unit.test.conf}/log4j.properties"/>
...
</junit>
