[syslog-ng]Question on using syslog-ng

I am looking for a package that will provide application level logging and
it looks to me like syslog-ng has the capabilities I am looking for.

I am not quite sure that I would want to replace syslogd with syslog-ng.
Would it be possible to have syslog-ng coexist with syslogd by having it
listen on a different port?  I would have write a version of syslog to
communicate using the alternate port.  Correct?

Thanks,

Ken
