I think there is some confusion about DEC versus IBM PC keys.
The relationship is detailed in distribution file MSVIBM.VT and also
in the user's manual book "Using MS-DOS Kermit." The IBM PC numeric
keypad keys are not necessarily related to the DEC KeyPad keys. Here
is a cutout from my copy of msvibm.vt:

Below, the acronyms CSI and SS3 stand for 8-bit control codes in an 8-bit
environment or for their 7-bit equivalents "ESC [" and "ESC O", respectively.
Command SET TERMINAL CONTROL {8-BIT | 7-BIT}, and an equivalent command from
the host, determines the usage for output text; use of parity forces 7-bit
mode. CSI is decimal 155, SS3 is decimal 143. Similarly, DCS is decimal 144
or ESC P and ST is decimal 156 or ESC \. APC is decimal 159 or ESC _.

Please note that \Kkp0...\Kkp0 are placed on IBM PC function
keys by default. You can redefine such things using Kermit command
SET KEY, as discussed in depth in "Using MS-DOS Kermit."
I don't quite understand why you are using SET PORT BIOS3. Do
you have some Int 14h interceptor present to route traffic to the net?
For real serial ports BIOS3 is terrible. If you are using Novell's ODI
material then Kermit can operate as a native ODI client (using it's
internal TCP/IP stack). This is discussed in the release notes.
