In your test you could subscribe to the ComponentModelCreated event and change the lifestyle of your per-web-request components to something else. (example).

If you're writing an integration test with the scope of a single request, singleton should do.

If you're writing an integration test that spans multiple requests, you could use a contextual lifestyle to simulate the scope of requests.

Edit: including code from example (which is no longer available):

container.Kernel.ComponentModelCreated += Kernel_ComponentModelCreated;

…

void Kernel_ComponentModelCreated(Castle.Core.ComponentModel model)
{
    if (model.LifestyleType == LifestyleType.Undefined)
        model.LifestyleType = LifestyleType.Transient;
}
