I use the following script within cron to get it done:
##################### BEGIN SCRIPT ########################
#!/bin/sh

# rotates webserver log files

DATE=`/bin/date +%m%d%Y_%H%M%S`
BASE_DIR='/var/log'
LOGS='httpd-access.log httpd-error.log'

for i in $LOGS; do
  if [ -f $BASE_DIR/$i ]; then
    /bin/cp $BASE_DIR/$i $BASE_DIR/$i.$DATE
    > $BASE_DIR/$i
    /usr/bin/gzip $BASE_DIR/$i.$DATE
  fi

  # search and delete older logs
  /usr/bin/find $BASE_DIR -name $i.* -a -mtime +30 -exec rm {} \;
done
##################### END SCRIPT ########################

Take a look at .../ports/sysutils/cronolog, does a nice job although
it keeps a lot of processes around.
