Browse through /etc/defaults/rc.conf You'll something similar to:
### Network daemon (miscellaneous) ###
syslogd_enable="YES" # Run syslog daemon (or NO).
syslogd_program="/usr/sbin/syslogd" # path to syslogd, if you want a
different one.
syslogd_flags="-s" # Flags to syslogd (if enabled).
#syslogd_flags="-ss" # Syslogd flags to not bind an inet socket
Looks like -s is the default. If you wanted to change it add
syslogd_flags="-whatever" to your /etc/rc.conf file.
Later,
Micah
