Why do we need a new kconfig? Can't we directly include the multicore manager in multicore.cmake based on the SoC/NBU kconfig?

I discussed this with @mmahadevan108, the idea is to avoid having to update multicore.cmake every time we add a new platform. Using a kconfig like this makes it transparent, the platform just has to select the kconfig.
I agree it's only half true, because we still have to select the multicore platform port depending on CONFIG_SOC_xxx, so still need to update multicore.cmake, but it's reduced maintenance (1 line to add).
Moreover, if we keep using the "based on SoC kconfig" approach, this file will just grow and duplicate the same logic for every platform (this applies to other middlewares too).

Should we have two separate configuration parameters, one for mcmgr and another one for rpmsg-lite?

Yeah I wasn't sure. I preferred going with the "reduced" approach since for now, the supported platforms will select both anyway (W71, W72). I would let @TomasGalbickaNXP split it if needed at some point.
