I would recommend webalizer in the ports.  If you read through the 
documentation, you specify the logfile and destination of each run, so 
you could have multiple configurations and cron jobs to compute the 
stats for you.

Let me know if you have any more questions.  IIRC, you can see an 
example at www.webalizer.org.
