In the configuration you should change the NKL definition from 1 to 8
and then rebuild the kernel to use all 8 DL lines of the KDJ11-E

src/sys/conf/GENERIC:

#########################################
# PERIPHERALS: TERMINALS #
#########################################

# NKL includes both KL11's and DL11's.
# It should always be at least 1, for the console.
NKL 1 # KL11, DL11


Then in /etc/dtab add separate entries for each of the additional DL lines.

# If you have DL11s, you must give each line an explicit unit number instead
# of using a '?' as above.  If you use a '?', autoconfig(8) will start
# assigning unit numbers starting at 0 which will effectively move your
# console to that first line.  Start your unit numbers with '1'.
#
# cn 1 176500 300 5 cnrint cnxint # kl/dl-11 (on mvx11-aa)


For reference the DL handler source code is here:
src/sys/pdp/cons.h
src/sys/pdp/cons.c
