I recently upgraded logrotate and in doing so, my logrotate.conf file was deleted. Instead I got a shiny new logrotate-default.

logrotate doesn't install a file named logrotate.conf, so it can't remove or delete it.
Port logrotate contains:
/opt/local/etc/logrotate-default /opt/local/sbin/logrotate /opt/local/share/man/man8/logrotate.8.gz

hmm, thats pretty strange. I agree with you, and did a grep for logrotate.conf, which came up short.
I was doing a slew of upgrades (among those were logrotate), and later that evening I got a: error: cannot stat /opt/local/etc/logrotate.conf: No such file or directory looking at my backup, I had that file in etc, so I assumed that the upgrade of logrotate had deleted my old file.
Ufortunately, I upgraded at least 20 ports when doing the upgrade - so not sure what caused it. I cannot find any other Portfile that contains references to logrotate, and with the potential to remove it.

Well I renamed the file to logrotate.conf.sample anyway because that is more clear. I'll close this but it can be reopened if you spot something else.
