  If by the options framework you refer to bsd.options.mk, then no:
those are strictly boolean options.  To pass strings, use a mechanism
similar to PKG_SYSCONFDIR.

  For this case, simply using ${VARBASE}/log or ${VARBASE}/run should
suffice: I see no gain in being able to specify different values.
