well, it depends.  if you left your apache config pretty much to the 
defaults, and set up your virtual hosts according to that (and put each 
VH log in /var/log/httpd/) then you should be alright.  check out 
/etc/logrotate.d/httpd

here's mine:

# cat /etc/logrotate.d/httpd
/var/log/httpd/*log {
     missingok
     notifempty
     sharedscripts
     postrotate
         /bin/kill -HUP `cat /var/run/httpd.pid 2>/dev/null` 2> 
/dev/null || true
     endscript
}


hth,
