Nate, can you please add this question to the FAQ? As I see there's something related, but it doesn't emphasize that klogd must not be running while syslog-ng fetches messages:

I want to replace syslogd *and* klogd on my Linux box with syslog-ng.
Use a source line like this in your conf file to read kernel messages, too.
source src { pipe("/proc/kmsg"); unix-stream("/dev/log"); internal(); };

maybe a sentence:
Note: do not run klogd and syslog-ng fetching local kernel messages at the same time. It may cause syslog-ng to block which makes all logging local daemons unusable.
