Use printf to format the output
to

'{ printf("%15.0f\n", total+=$1) }'

If you want to chang the numeric output style, use printf statement
You can do something like this (not tested) :

du -sk /u*/oradata/TEST/*.dbf | \
awk '{total+=$1; printf("%d\n,total)}'

If you want to only print the final total :

du -sk /u*/oradata/TEST/*.dbf | \
awk '{total+=$1} END {printf("%d\n",total)}'
