You can not create it (At least I don ot know a workaround).

If you need to access the FIFO you can use the /proc directory to get 
the file descriptor until Kamailio is restarted.

eg:

1. get the PID of Kamailio and the FD of the FIFO:

# lsof|grep kamailio_fifo
kamailio   6505   kamailio    6r     FIFO      202,2      0t0 131110 
/tmp/kamailio_fifo (deleted)
kamailio   6505   kamailio   10w     FIFO      202,2      0t0 131110 
/tmp/kamailio_fifo (deleted)

2. use FD 6 or 10 of Kamailio's FDs
OSER_FIFO=/proc/6505/fd/6 kamctl ......
