serctl is no longer used/installed in ser 2.0.
Use sercmd (for various runtime changes, installed by default) and(or
ser_ctl (for adding users, DB related stuff, not part of the ser
install).

You can get ser_ctl from
http://ftp.iptel.org/pub/serctl/daily-snapshots/

or from cvs (same repository as for ser 2*, but the ser_ctl module):
http://cvs.berlios.de/cgi-bin/viewvc.cgi/ser/serctl/

That being said, consider installing directly sip-router 3.0
(sip-router = ser + kamailio).  3.0 is quite stable, has a lot more
features then ser 2.0 and it will be maintained for a long time
(meaning bugfixes backports).
Moreover if you use only the ser part out of it (only modules in
modules/ and modules_s/) the migration form ser 2.0 should be very
straight forward. You can of-course add some kamailio modules, but then
you have to be a little careful, not every combination between ser &
kamailio modules works (different DB format).
See
http://git.sip-router.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?p=sip-router;a=blob;f=doc/config_migration.txt
and
http://sip-router.org/wiki/devel/ser-integration
for migration details.
Various docs can be found at http://sip-router.org/wiki/.
Tarballs: http://sip-router.org/tarballs/sr/sr_3.0/

In case you're wondering  kamailio 3.0 = sip-router 3.0 without ser
specific modules and with some easy migration from k 1.5 minor changes (in
general minor script syntax sugar). They all use the same code base.
