We're currently in the middle of Kingmaker, and in that AP if you are interested in filling certain roles your character needed certain ability scores (presently, I am the Queen of the Glorious Nation of Zeltenia).
I usually wind up in the "leader" position in my group when I PC, so I was wondering if I would need anything (read: Charisma) to pull that off. Can I wind up a pirate captain with an average Charisma? Is there anything else I should consider taking?
Does this AP even have "roles" like Kingmaker?

There are definitely roles that require certain skills (Namely, Rigger and Swab, in the first volume). It's recommended that everyone have, or eventually have, Profession (sailor) for most of these. Eventually, though, it's less of an issue as you progress. You can fall into roles on the ship, certainly, but beyond the initial stuff they don't seem to require much.
