Well, every OpenPKG package "foo" which contains a
<prefix>/etc/fsl/fsl.foo file logs via OSSP fsl and hence its
logging is controlled in <prefix>/etc/fsl/fsl.foo (a %config file
you are allowed to change without risk). The rotation of the logfile
(which is preconfigured in <prefix>/etc/fsl/fsl.foo to usually be
<prefix>/var/foo/foo.log is done in <prefix>/etc/rc.d/rc.foo.

_When_ the logfile is rotated is usually not configurable. Its usually
done in the %daily section of rc.foo and this is by default at (luckily
you are ;-) midnight. For how long the logfiles are kept you can control
in <prefix>/etc/rc.conf by overriding he postfix_log_numfiles variable
from <prefix>/etc/rc.d/rc.postfix.
