For the sake of the mailing list archives / google searches, the 
following flags() argument is needed to parse the new message format 
from local socket:

     source src { unix-dgram("/var/run/log" flags(syslog-protocol) );
               unix-dgram("/var/run/logpriv" perm(0600));
               internal();  file("/dev/klog");  };

Also, syslog-ng v. 3 or greater is needed (1.6x in pkgsrc, 2.x in 
pkgsrc-wip)

If/when Other*BSD imports the IETF syslog support, the same will be true 
there.
