You will want to generate your own syslog-ng.conf from an existing
customised syslog.conf before using syslog-ng. The ${PREFIX}/bin/syslog2ng
script can be used to do this. The resulting output should be copied to
${PKG_SYSCONFDIR}/syslog-ng.conf

You will need to set the following in /etc/rc.conf:
syslogd=NO
syslogng=YES
There is a lot of work done by the standard NetBSD rc.d scripts
to setup daemons in chroot environments. Due to the way that
syslog-ng deals with chroot programs this work is effectively by-passed.
If you have any chroot daemons please ensure that syslog-ng is setup
to work correctly with them.
