AFAIK you have things like wget, tftp and busybox available in kboot, which means the most appropriate way of supporting netbooting would be to use the same config file, as for syslinux/pxelinux, try downloading that via tftp from the next-server (provided by dhcp) or the server which provided you the address, and look for the file as pxeboot does: under pxelinux.cfg/MAC-Address, pxelinux.cfg/HEXADDRESS or pxelinux.cfg/default. Then parse the downloaded config file, locate kernel, initrd, download them by tftp and generate on the fly a kexec command. I wonder whether this doesn't exist already. Anyway, if you do it this way, there will be no difference for managing kboot network booting and normal pxeboots.
