Daniel -

I discovered that arguments provided on the command line apparently
are not respected by syslogd if this entry exists in
/etc/defaults/rc.conf:

syslogd_flags=""

I had your problem, and solved it by adding this line to /etc/rc.conf:

syslogd_flags="-a <blahblah>"

Maybe this will work for you. -d
