I just use the following in nginx (any file will do because it wouldn't
use it):

access_log      /var/log/nginx/access_fifo main;
error_log       /var/log/nginx/error_fifo error;

and in syslog-ng (useful part):

filter f_nginx_access { program("nginx") and level(notice); };
filter f_nginx_error { program("nginx") and level(crit); };

destination nginx_access { tcp("loghost");
file("/var/log/nginx/access_log"); };
destination nginx_error { tcp("loghost");
file("/var/log/nginx/error_log"); };

log { source(src); filter(f_nginx_access); destination(nginx_access); };
log { source(src); filter(f_nginx_error); destination(nginx_error); };
