I agree, they look like synonyms. There's nothing about "enable" in Documentation/kbuild/kconfig-language.txt and there's evidence in zconf.l (as you mention) and in menu.c that they are the same:
case P_SELECT: sym2 = prop_get_symbol(prop); if ((sym->type != S_BOOLEAN && sym->type != S_TRISTATE) || (sym2->type != S_BOOLEAN && sym2->type != S_TRISTATE)) fprintf(stderr, "%s:%d:warning: enable is only allowed with boolean and tristate symbols\n", ~~~~~~
