We had the same requirement.
The only approach that I could discover was to create our own version of
FileWatchdog where #lastModif was set in the constructor (see below).

    // WilliamF this is the change we made from log4j-1.2.12 as we don't
    // want any prior log to be wiped when the Watchdog first starts up.

    this.lastModif = this.file.lastModified();
