I don't know what kind of unit testing frameworks are in place in the kernel, but the OOMK's victim selection process sounds like something that should be *really* suitable for unit testing.
With unit testing in place bug reports could be converted into unit tests ("on a system with these processes using these amounts of memory, don't start with KDE") and be run on future generations of OOMKs as well.
What kind of unit testing frameworks *are* available in the kernel?

Not quite sure what you're picturing as the unit that would be tested in this case...?

The unit that would be nice to have tests for would be whatever it is that:
* takes as input the system state * outputs the PID to kill first.

Sounds good.
* takes as input the system state
Is that all? :) Still having a hard time picturing a discrete unit to test here.

I'm thinking the unit to be tested suggested by GP is the aforementioned badness() function.
