This is a shortcoming of cygport, in that you cannot just write "do the 
standard src_(compile|install|test), but do this extra thing first (like 
modifying PATH as you need in this case).

(One approach to this I've though about would be to have a hook function 
(or set of functions) which are called before each phase of operation, 
to allow this)
