It is entirely possible that you will not be able to make this work easily. KGDB relies upon the fact that you can have some type of I/O driver which can be used from the exception context where the interrupts are off and you touch as few pieces of the kernel as possible.
I have not looked at how the IPMI serial drivers work, but I suspect they rely on interrupts being on, in order to function, in which case you would need implement some kind of explicit polling support.
