If I try to input a symbolic multivariate distribution, I do not get a useful result.
PDF[MultinormalDistribution[m, S], x]
(* During evaluation of MultinormalDistribution::vrprm: The value m at position 1 in MultinormalDistribution[m,S] is expected to be a list of real numbers. *)
(* During evaluation of MultinormalDistribution::vrprm: The value m at position 1 in MultinormalDistribution[m,S] is expected to be a list of real numbers.*)
(* PDF[MultinormalDistribution[m, S], x] *)
Clearly, Mathematica could return an appropriate symbolic expression. Is there any way of making it do so?

You need to supply Mathematica with the structure of your variables:
(* dimension of distribution *)
n = 2;
PDF[
MultinormalDistribution[
Array[Subscript[m, ##] &, n],
Array[Subscript[S, Sequence @@ Sort@{##}] &, {n, n}]
],
Array[Subscript[x, ##] &, n]
]
We use Array to construct variables of the form Subscript[var,i,j,…] (you can of course use any other form that is more convenient). Note that S is explicitly made symmetric by sorting the indices. The code works without this, but this way there are no "fake" parameters.
Note: As pointed out by @BobHanlon in the comments, Subscript can often cause issues if used blindly. For actual use, it is much safer to simply use indexed variables such as Array[x, n].
