What I do is something along the lines of:

1) destination foo { file("/var/logs/whatever/messages-$MONTH$DAY"); };

so syslog-ng creates a seperate output file for each day.

2) A cronjob that then does 'find /var/logs/whatever -mtime +30 -exec rm {}\;'
is all that's needed to clean up.  Add salt, pepper, and documentation to taste.
