It is not possible right now, at least with the BalaBit binaries. The
paths are hard-coded, but if you move the files and put symlink
in /opt/syslog-ng should work.

The path is hard-coded in both the syslog-ng binary (when it opens the
configuration file etc), but also in the rpath setting in the binary.
The first can be overridden with command line options the (mind all the
files not just the configuration), rpath can be changed using
LD_LIBRARY_PATH, but that also depends on your platform.
