Unfortunately there's no built in way to do so. You can still use the
JVM argument options to pass in the option:
http://mojo.codehaus.org/exec-maven-plugin/exec-mojo.html#arguments
http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-surefire-plugin/test-mojo.html#argLine

To get the correct value, use:
${settings.localRepository/javax/xml/bind/jaxb-api/2.1/jaxb-api-2.1.jar
(obviously, dependent on the local repository format).

You need to have the artifact in the local repository first - you can
do that via a regular dependency (though be aware it'll be added to
the normal classpaths as well, which may be undesirable).
Alterantively, you can use the dependency plugin to resolve it.
