Sorry, there is no simple way (i.e. using the command line).

However, if you are using configuration files, you can use
byte_order(little) or byte_order(big) to force endianness.

Or, if you rather feel like hacking the source code, the correct place
to change (I think) is 

	MACHINE_SETUP(testmips)
	{
	...
	        cpu->byte_order = EMUL_BIG_ENDIAN;

in src/machines/machine_test.c.
