It would be great if we could do this. Unfortunately, the nqp tests suffer from the same issue as many of the per-language tests in the languages/ directory -- namely, Parrot's test harness isn't really able to handle tests written in languages other than Perl 5 or PIR. So, for now this is essentially the same issue as tickets RT#41675 and RT#45601. Based on a recent IRC conversation I think the consensus was that Parrot needs to get rid of all of the separate t/harness scripts and come up with a single script that can handle the various differences.
