I did some more digging on the whole log piping thing and apache includes a 
nifty little application called rotatelogs which lives in 
/usr/local/sbin/rotatelogs on my system that I built form the ports. From the 
man page:

NAME 
         rotatelogs - Piped logging program to rotate Apache logs 
SYNOPSIS
        rotatelogs [ -l ] [ -f ] logfile rotationtime|filesizeM [ offset ] 
SUMMARY 
        rotatelogs is a simple program for use in conjunction with Apache's 
piped logfile feature. It supports rotation based on a time interval or maximum 
size of the log.

It looks pretty simple to use just create your log format directive like:

        LogFormat "%t \"%r\" %>s \"%{Referer}i\" %b" SpecialFormat

        CustomLog "| /usr/local/sbin/rotatelogs /var/log/httpd-access.log 
86400" SpecialFormat

I hope that helps. I know I shall be experimenting with this one tomorrow.
