wouldn't it be possible to use macros for this purpose, e.g. something
like this:

destination d_files_per_ip { file("/var/log/$SOURCEIP/messages"); };

?

Probably, if you can describe the file naming using macros, you could
use either files or SQL as both of the supports creating files based on
macros dynamically.

You need to recompile syslog-ng, either if you want to increase yacc
limits or to switch to bison.

You can force a given implementation of yacc by setting the YACC
environment variable before running the configure script. But it is
probably enough to install bison as the configure script supposedly
prefers that over yacc.
