How do deal with and unix permissions on Unix?

Without keeping executable bit ANT becomes not very useful on Unix. How do
you replace <copy> to work correctly on Unix?

Maybe.  Java doesn't provide access to permissions so there is nothing
much Ant can do.

<apply executable="cp" destdir="...">
  <arg value="-p"/>
  <srcfile/>
  <mapper type="identity"/>
  <fileset />
</apply>

would work.  Alternatively you can <chmod> the files after <copy>ing
them - if you know the files and permissions, that is.
