So the right config is being passed to KVM.
You can run lspci in the virtual machine to make sure the right PCI devices are 
being exposed.
Then presuming the guest as virtio-serial support (and I don't know if SLED11 
has that compiled in) then you'll see /dev/vport* (and potentially symlinks in 
/dev/virtio-ports/ depending on how udev is setup in SLED)
