Yes, I'm sure.

# ls /etc/cron.daily/
slocate syslog.cron
where syslog.cron is _not_ part of logrotate, but is instead a script (I
suppose it comes with sysklogd, but I'm not sure) whose purpose, as the
name says, is to rotate syslog's files.
Following the comments in it, I modified it to rotate all the files
in /var/log (it's easy, here are the instructions:
# sysklogd Cron script to rotate system log files daily.
#
# If you want to rotate other logfiles daily, edit
# this script. An easy way is to add them manually
# or to add -a to syslogd-listfiles and add some grep
# stuff

This does the job for me, without the need to use the "real" logrotate
app.
