This seems to work:

add_executable(unittest ${test_SRCS})

set(unittest_stamp
  "${CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR}${CMAKE_FILES_DIRECTORY}/unittest.stamp")
add_custom_command(OUTPUT "${unittest_stamp}"
  COMMAND ${CMAKE_CTEST_COMMAND} $(ARGS)
  COMMAND ${CMAKE_COMMAND} -E touch "${unittest_stamp}"
  COMMENT "Running unit test"
  DEPENDS unittest)
add_custom_target(unittest_run ALL DEPENDS "${unittest_stamp}")
