It is possible to start XCSoar from KSM. But to make it real usable one would have to install the kernel provided by the XCSoar package, because of USB OTG. This part I did not test, since I do not have the gps hardware anyway (and I am not in the mood for troubles right now).

Is there a real need for dual booting? I guess my question is what the kernel provided by XCSoar is missing to be able to run nickel or KSM.

Edit: Finally, I tried the XCSoar kernel. KSM and nickel are running. There is only one problem. It seems I do not know how to change between usb host and slave mode. If I want to use my device as usb mass storage, or enable usb net, I have first to change to the original kobo kernel. BTW, since KSM is running under both kernels, switching between them is rather easy.
