Yes it is. Besides calling runtest with some options, the automade
Makefile does the following steps after call to "make check":
- run "make" (e.g., to build the library to be tested)
- run "make" on the special test programs
- build a file site.exp which is read by dejagnu (see below)
- call runtest

In my case, the file site.exp contains the following lines:

----------- 8< --------------
## these variables are automatically generated by make ##
# Do not edit here.  If you wish to override these values
# edit the last section
set tool <TOOL>
set srcdir .
set objdir <PATH_TO_TEST_DIRECTORY>
set host_alias sparc-sun-solaris2.5.1
set host_triplet sparc-sun-solaris2.5.1
## All variables above are generated by configure. Do Not Edit ##
----------- 8< --------------

You should adjust <TOOL>, <PATH_TO_TEST_DIRECTORY>, host_alias and
host_triplet to your needs.
