I didn't get it working with SeaBIOS' SERCON, but I just moved on to SgaBIOS. 
It turns out it's actually better for me than SERCON, because it provides 
serial redirection to the point where kernel takes over, while SERCON only 
provides till bootloader starts.

That feature of SgaBIOS makes it possible to use full disk encryption on 
FreeBSD (without unencrypted /boot), because the password prompt just before 
bootloader is about to start and currently it's impossible to redirect it to 
serial (bootloader can be redirected to serial, password prompt can not). With 
SgaBIOS, I can get a password prompt via serial, with SERCON it's not possible 
(at least I didn't find a way to do so).
