Is there a way I can be in /usr/src/bin/rmdir and just run a succesful `make test` (or equivalent) without some combination of `make install` + kyua out of /usr/tests? Seems like for self-contained tests, simple testing should be possible.

If you don't like the fact that checkdir disappears, then you'll have
to do "make install".  But you don't need to run Kyua on the entire
test suite.  You can do it just on a subdir, like this:

sudo kyua test --kyuafile /usr/tests/bin/rmdir/Kyuafile
