I hadn't thought of using a “<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monkey_patch" rel="nofollow">monkey patch</a>” in this case. I wonder if there is a way to monkey-patch the XMLRPC services to be available so that I can test actually performing the trackback against the test server. Thanks Malcolm.

You can hard-code it to be a hash-based function -- for a given input string, return this hard-coded string back -- in the simplest cases. I've often had to use this for unittesting socket-based distributed systems. Python's designed to make it easy, too.
