Hmm odd, I do see in GENERIC:
pseudo-device   ksyms                   # /dev/ksyms

You also should have:
cr--r--r--  1 root  wheel  101, 0 Oct  5  2004 /dev/ksyms

However I wonder if this could be related (from ksyms(4) man page):

BUGS
     No LKM modules can be loaded or unloaded while /dev/ksyms is open.

Although the proper error shouldn't be "not configured" in this case
normally, and I'm not sure what could be holding the device open if so,
maybe verify using fstat(1)...
