Here "$uri/" is fallback parameter. However, this is not cause of the problem.

You need something like this:

location /devkit {
    try_files $uri $uri/ @kohana;
}
 
location @kohana {
    fastcgi_pass   127.0.0.1:9000;
    fastcgi_split_path_info         ^(/devkit)(/.*)$;
    fastcgi_param  SCRIPT_FILENAME  /usr/local/nginx/html/devkit/index.php;
    fastcgi_param  PATH_INFO        $fastcgi_path_info;
}
