I would like to add a dummy feature to ipxe called BIOS_SERIAL_CONSOLE.
This would not be compiled in by default, and would introduce no
functionality to ipxe, only add another flag to the dhcp options in a
dhcp request.

I am prepared to write the code to do this, but would like
review/endorsement from the developers and assignment of the sub-option
code number. (I believe the next available is 42 but my checks have been
brief.)
As others have suggested, using the existing functionality for setting a
custom DHCP user class is probably the easiest way to achieve this.
Extending the "console" command to support serial console configuration
would also work, and would definitely be a useful feature to have.
Extending the "console" command to support enabling/disabling individual
consoles would be another option, and would require less work than
supporting arbitrary serial port configuration.
