Is the existing site static? If yes, then you can port piece-by-piece by 
building each section as a module and then drop a controller into the 
top folder of each section.

Basically the symfony tree can be anywhere on your web server (usually its 
a good idea to keep it outside any web-accessible folder) and your 
controller loads the config and dispatches the request.

You will also need mod_rewrite enabled and htaccess files alongside each 
controller. Since you already have a site and you dont want to break URLs, 
then your routing should match the existing site as much as possible.

We have done this successfully for a large high traffic site. Just shows 
how flexible symfony can be.
