The <scp> task has no option to preserve symbolic links currently. The <tar> task should preserve symbolic links. You can also use <sshexec> to create symbolic links remotely.
You build file should do the following: <tar> the stuff locally that you want to copy to the remote hosts. <scp> the tarfile to the remote hosts. <sshexec> to the remote hosts to untar the tarfile.
