It sounds like, minimum, you want to open a SerialForwarder per mote, so that multiple connections can be made per device. There's a number of ways to do that.
You could take a look at tinyos-1.x/contrib/nestfe/java/net/tinyos/sfmultiplex/ which has a small amount of documentation here http://nest.cs.berkeley.edu/nestfe/index.php/Tier_2.
