No. The purpose of the snd-virmidi driver is to convert between ALSA sequencer ports and old OSS raw midi ports, but not to connect several sequencer ports together. > It appears that the tools I'm using don't want to use the MIDI devices > in /dev, but the ALSA port numbers. Then you just need to load snd-seq-dummy and use the Through port. Or you could just use aconnect to connect your keyboard directly to Csound.
