Len,

I hate to imply you didn't cover the basics, but are you sure that
newsyslog is sending the HUP to the right PID? Maybe it's trying to
'kill -HUP `cat /var/run/syslogd.pid' when the PID file is
/var/run/syslog-ng.pid?

I don't know how FreeBSD HUPs the syslog daemon, but it could be
something like this.

In five years we'll make up another plan.
Or just re-use this one.
