I don't use FreBSD, but under linux the kernel messages are in
/dev/kmsg

source local { internal();
               unix-stream("/dev/log");
               file("/proc/kmsg" log_prefix("kernel: "));
               unix-dgram("/var/run/log");
          };

Subject: [syslog-ng] Syslog-ng 3.x and kernel messages

I've used syslog-ng 1.x and 2.x, but am new to using 3.x. I'm using
syslog-ng 3.0.3 on a FreeBSD 8.0 server. I'm having trouble getting
kernel messages. I've made a very small config file, and this isn't
working either.

@version:3.0
source local { internal(); file("/dev/klog"); unix-dgram("/var/run/log"); };
destination all { file("/var/log/all.log"); };
log { source(local); destination(all); };

This picks up other things, but not the kernel messages. I assume it's
a small configuration issue. Let me know. Thanks.
