I recommend the use of socat to have predicatable pty pairs.
Just an example for 4 ax25 ports:

# for mkiss dual port setup
/usr/bin/socat pty,link=/var/ax25/axp1,raw,echo=0 
pty,link=/var/ax25/kp1,raw,echo=0 &
/usr/bin/socat pty,link=/var/ax25/axp2,raw,echo=0 
pty,link=/var/ax25/kp2,raw,echo=0 &

# axip/axudp
/usr/bin/socat pty,link=/var/ax25/axip,raw,echo=0 
pty,link=/var/ax25/kip,raw,echo=0 &
/usr/bin/socat pty,link=/var/ax25/axudp,raw,echo=0 
pty,link=/var/ax25/kudp,raw,echo=0 &

sleep 1

# dual port
/usr/sbin/mkiss -s 9600 /dev/ttyS1 /var/ax25/axp1 /var/ax25/axp2
/usr/sbin/kissattach /var/ax25/kp1 2m 44.182.21.1
/usr/sbin/kissattach /var/ax25/kp2 70cm 44.182.21.1
/usr/sbin/kissattach /var/ax25/kip axip 44.182.21.1
/usr/sbin/kissattach /var/ax25/kudp axudp 44.182.21.1
