Just to clarify, even the latest src/etc/rc.d/syslogd at:

http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/src/etc/rc.d/syslogd?rev=1.11&content-type=text/x-cvsweb-markup

Specially hard-codes /usr/sbin/$program as the executable, thus setting:

syslogd_program="/usr/local/sbin/syslog-ng"
syslogd_flags="-p /var/run/syslog.pid"
syslogd_enable="YES"

Has no effect at startup.  It starts the system syslogd(8).

*HOWEVER*, after the boot process is complete, /etc/rc.d/syslogd begins to 
honor syslogd_program="" (start, stop, status).

It's very strange.  Perhaps a more rc(8) compliant syslog-ng.sh.example 
should be packaged up?
