Yes, this seems straightforward because Giraph appears to be in a similar 
state: There is an 0.1.0-incubating release that supports Hadoop 1.x, among 
other 0.20-ish vintages. Then there is trunk / 0.2-SNAPSHOT which also supports 
Hadoop trunk.

Yes I can certainly do that for you if you are going to take the risk on adding 
Giraph. I think their PageRank benchmark is where most people start when trying 
it out, so making that into a smoke test seems natural.
