The 'unit-test' rule is synonym for the 'run' rule, which is defined like 
this:

rule run ( sources + : args * : input-files * : requirements * : target-name ?
: default-build * )

So you'd have to write:

unit-test main.cpp NumberTest.cpp > ../lib//long/<link>static
C:/local/sde/projects/cppunit-1.10.2/lib/cppunitd.lib
;

HTH,
