A ptty (psuedo tty) port is first required for a multiport TNC, 
according to the HOWTO. It then sets up the two KISS ports that are 
configured separately, just like standard KISS ports. Applications talk

I don't have a multiport TNC but the docs certainly cover that 
situation. Have a look at Jeff Tranter's HOWTO
