I've used both Lantronix and Antaira Serial to IP devices. Both should
allow you to either install virtual com port software or connect in
pairs to extend a serial connection.

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.
