Yes, it is a userspace program that the kernel is very aware of.
the param CONFIG_DEVFS_MOUNT=1 needs to be set in the kernel .config and recompiled. The kernel will mount devfs at boot with this option.

How can I explicitely activate it ?
check if it it compiled in yours with
./linux --showconfig | grep DEVFS and look for CONFIG_DEV_FS=y
If not, you may have to use another binary or compile your own, the devfs option is to be found under the "File System" menu.
The kernel image linux-2.4.19-5 from the uml kernel page has this option set.
$ linux --showconfig | grep DEVFS CONFIG_DEVFS_FS=y # CONFIG_DEVFS_MOUNT is not set # CONFIG_DEVFS_DEBUG is not set
So it seems the devfs is builtin, but it doesn't automatically mount.
Are there any command line options to mount it ? (/etc/fstab doesn't do it)
