As far as I know there is no way to do this. What I would do is to create two versions of your config file (one if you are a loghost and one if you are not) and then have some external config management tool use the appropriate config. out of curiosity, what syslog daemon were you using before? I did not know of any that would allow you to do this sort of thing.
