A "kenning" is a type of circumlocution that uses figurative compound phrases. So by that definition, yes, the phrase "back stabber" could be described as a kenning. Most "back stabbers" don't literally stab others in the back, though some do like Brutus in Julius Caesar. That is certainly a betrayal, and the phrase is used these days to mean any act of betrayal.
