No, syslog-ng always uses the timezone offset to make it easier to
analyze.

You could perhaps add this information in a name-value pair and use that
in your destination filename, e.g.

rewrite r_timezone { set("PDT" value("USER.TIMEZONE")); };

then use

file("/var/log/${USER.TIMEZONE}");

this requires syslog-ng 3.0 or 3.1
