Well, assuming the modules directory matches the kernel (uImage)
you could try:

export SUPERMIN_KERNEL=/boot/uImage
export SUPERMIN_MODULES=/lib/modules/3.8.13-rt9-QorIQ-SDK-V1.4

Are these homebrew kernels?  I'm surprised that an official Ubuntu
ppc kernel would have such a non-standard name.  Anyway, if homebrew
you'll also need to ensure the kernel supports all the usual virtio
devices (especially virtio-serial, which is required by libguestfs).
