My distro sets up cyrus to use the local6 facility for logging. I use the 
following lines in my syslog-ng.conf (in their proper sections):
===================================
destination d_local6 { file("/var/log/mail/imapd.log"); };
filter f_local6 { facility(local6); };
log { source(src); filter(f_local6); destination(d_local6); flags(final); };
===================================

Works just fine. I put all of my mail logs in a separate directory 
(/var/log/mail/).
Note - you may have to "touch" the destination file to create it.
