You can use software modems and send calls between the two - that 
doesn't just simulate a fax, it actually does it.  t38modem and iaxmodem 
are the two that I can think of.  t38modem will probably be the easier 
of the two to set up just for simple testing.

However, if all you want to do is to test the faxrcvd modifications, you 
can do that by hand by running the etc/faxrcvd.custom (hopefully you've 
set FaxRcvdCmd instead of modifying bin/faxrcvd directly) script from 
the /var/spool/hylafax directory.
