There is a port of logrotate for most Unix variants now, while most BSDs do 
come with newsyslog

check freshmeat.net
http://freshmeat.net/search/?site=Freshmeat&q=newsyslog&section=projects
http://freshmeat.net/search/?site=Freshmeat&q=logrotate&section=projects

there are a few choices.

here is also one I found on sourceforge:
