Is still necessary to copy the kernel when ksyms is built in the  kernel?

No, assuming that the boot loader loads the symbols. If the boot loader does not, you can use SYMTAB_SPACE in the kernel config file to allocate space in the kernel, and modify the kernel Makefile to inject the symbols into that space (several embedded system platforms do this already).

I added support for loading a (Net?)BSD symbol table to the userspace domain builder. The domain0 builder doesn't support it yet, it shouldn't be to hard to add -- see code which mentions "symtab" in tools/libxc/xc_linux_build.c and add it to xen/arch/x86/domain_build.c and xen/common/elf.c.
