iirc (haven't tried this out in ages..)
you could do

/sbin/modprobe snd-virmidi
presuming you have one soundcard, snd-virmidi
will be snd-card-1 (check it with  cat /proc/asound/cards )

OR

add  alias snd-card-1 snd-virmidi  to your modules.conf

then  ln -s /dev/snd/midiC1D0 /dev/midi10

and start pd with  -midiindev 11
(count starts from 1 with pd)

now kaconnect anything to your first virmidi port

hth,
