I don't think so... From the man pages:

             CustomLog "|bin/rotatelogs /var/logs/logfile 5M" common

        This configuration will rotate the logfile whenever it  
reaches  a  size
        of 5 megabytes.

             ErrorLog "|bin/rotatelogs /var/logs/errorlog.%Y-%m-%d-%H_ 
%M_%S 5M"

        This  configuration will rotate the error logfile whenever it  
reaches a
        size of 5 megabytes, and the suffix to the logfile name will  
be created
        of the form errorlog.YYYY-mm-dd-HH_MM_SS.
