AFAIK, this is not possible. If you can, wait for Enhydra 5.1 and the 
log4j integration : log4j is much more powerful than the StandardLogger...
If you can't wait, don't log to a file, but to StdErr, and pipe the 
output of Enhydra either to syslog with logger (if you're under unix), 
or through a script/program like rotatelogs, distributed with apache. It 
handles nicely the job of rotating the logs for you :

$ /usr/sbin/rotatelogs --help
Usage: /usr/sbin/rotatelogs <logfile> <rotation time in seconds> [offset 
minutes from UTC]

Add this:

TransferLog "|/usr/sbin/rotatelogs /some/where 86400"

to httpd.conf. The generated name will be /some/where.nnnn where nnnn is the
system time at which the log nominally starts (N.B. this time will 
always be a
multiple of the rotation time, so you can synchronize cron scripts with it).
At the end of each rotation time a new log is started.
