something I don't understand here ... do you want to unit test servlets or
EJB ?
Yes, at the current time, it is not possible to unit test servlet who uses
security API (although it is easy to bypass this - see other mails on the
subject). However, there are no restrictions for unit testing EJBs using
security features !
See the thread "Testing EJB", it gives detail on how to unit test EJB with
security activated (although this has nothing to do with Cactus !).

for servlets, it depends on how fast someone will volunteer to write it ...
