YEs you can if you have the model of mikrotiks with serial interfaces.
If not you can find a compatable USB to serial adapter as well. I have
done this serial->mikrotik->IP_>linux->IP->Mikrotik->Serial before with
a linux box connecting the different ip sessions using a raspberry
pi/Beagleboard. This could theoretically be done with an openwrt image
running on one of the Mikrotiks. all that would need to be done is for
it to initiate the telnet/ssh sessions and bridge them.

Could I somehow tunnel the serial connection from the device to the
control panel with Mikrotik? There's no PC in the mix, just a serial
DCE to a DTE. If a pair of Mikrotiks could do this, that would save
me the trouble of buying something.

You can always use to mikrotik boards with serial interfaces or usb
serial. Works quite well.

It's for an LCD control panel for a piece of equipment. Google
shows me lots of serial-IP servers where it bridges a telnet session
to the serial port, but that's not what I'm looking for. I know you
industrial control guys do this, so I'm sure there's a way.
