Yes, the serial-unit (aka COM port) and serial-speed seem generically useful on their own, as long you take care to handle the different numbering between GRUB's serial-unit (zero indexed) and the COM port numbering (indexed from 1). The terminal inputs and outputs are generic only at the highest level. At least, the choice between a graphical and text / curses interface seeems universal. But of course other bootloader implementations will support their own set of interfaces, and they may require extra configuration.
