Once you format the SD card to have the Kali Linux Raspberry Pi installer, you can mount both the boot and the Linux partitions of the SD card, and modify it so that the Pi will start any service you want.

I am unable to determine the answer to this question: is SSH enabled by default on Kali Linux Raspberry Pi images? Or am I screwing something up on my router?
SSH is on by default
This 2-year-old Kali bug indicates that SSH was enabled on Kali Raspberry Pi images: https://bugs.kali.org/view.php?id=464
But that was two years ago, and it was inconsistent with what they were doing with other Kali Linux images, so it's dubious whether this information is still accurate.
SSH is off by default
As indicated by my experience with other Kali installations, and as mentioned in the thread above, Kali installations don't have SSH enabled by default.
The question, then, is whether Kali went with PRINCIPLE (not enabling SSH, because they just don't do that) or PRACTICALITY (if you don't enable SSH on a Raspberry Pi, you're now assuming that every RPi user wants to go out and buy a keyboard, mouse, display, and adapter dongle, which is ridiculous).
The Meta-Realization
The meta realization is, it doesn't matter. You can do whatever you want with a Kali Linux installer.
Once you format the SD card to have the Kali Linux Raspberry Pi installer, you can mount both the boot and the Linux partitions of the SD card, and modify it so that the Pi will start any service you want. (If you are on a Mac, you will need MacFUSE. See Kali_Raspberry_Pi/Installing#Kali_Linux_SD_Card page for details.)
