You can do that in the installer already (on a fresh install).
Just select the filesystem and change it's mount options:


 We now have your BSD-disklabel partitions as:
 This is your last chance to change them.
 
    Start  MB   End  MB  Size  MB FS type    Newfs Mount Mount point
    --------- --------- --------- ---------- ----- ----- -----------
>a:         0     30635     30636 FFSv2      Yes   Yes   /
 b:     30636     34731      4096 swap
 c:         0     34731     34732 Whole disk
 d:         0         0         0 unused
 e: Show all unused partitions
 f: Change input units (sectors/cylinders/MB)
 x: Partition sizes ok


selecting a (or pressing enter there) leads to:

 The current values for partition `a' are, 
 Select the field you wish to change:
 
                           MB cylinders   sectors

As you see, log is already the default - but you can select different options
there.

(This is in -current, I think it is not on by default in netbsd-5)
