Sorta, but that's what I needed....

# find /dev /var -iname log -exec ls -ld \{\} \;
srwxrwxrwx  1 root  wheel  0 Jan 23 10:55 /dev/log
drwxr-xr-x  3 root  wheel  512 Jan 22 15:41 /var/db/pkg.refcount/dirs/var/log
drwxr-xr-x  8 root  wheel  1024 Jan 22 19:59 /var/log

# grep _PATH_LOG /usr/src/sys/sys/syslog.h
#define _PATH_LOG       "/var/run/log"

# ln -s /dev/log  /var/run/log

works.

Thanks,
