Thanks for that. I'm running a Mac OSX 10.6.2 server so logrotate is not something that's installed by default.
I did find rotatelogs which is used by apache but doesn't seem to work as a standalone script. In the end I've written my own LaunchDaemon to cycle the logs, gzip them and then delete any older than 7 days which will suffice for now.
