I'm not familiar with Mininet's configuration, but OVS does have some
documentation on running the userspace switch:
http://openvswitch.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?p=openvswitch;a=blob;f=INSTALL.userspace
You won't be using ovs-dpctl, since that's just for speaking with the kernel
module, which isn't needed for the userspace switch.
