I presume that (the sadly no longer free for non-US academics) MKL was set up as shown here: http://verahill.blogspot.com.au/2013/06/465-intel-mkl-math-kernel-library-on.html
I haven't run all the tests on the build yet, but most of the ones that I tried worked, with the exception of the benzene test which came out with "Failure to converge standard eigenproblem", which is described here: http://departments.icmab.es/leem/siesta/Documentation/Manuals/manual-2.0/node47.html and isn't due to the build parameters.
NOTE: this doesn't work on mkl version 2013.sp1.3.174 as the blacs openmpi lib is missing. It does work on 2013.3.163, which is the version I used below. I have no idea why the libraries supplied with mkl are so different.

make
You can edit Tests/test.mk to make sure that it's pointing to your siesta executable (or make a symlink to siesta in /opt/siest/siesta-3.2-pl-5/) and that it uses mpirun and the appropriate number of threads.
Then run make in Tests/ to run all the tests.
