0004411: delivered configuration file shows warnings
I have no idea if it is possible to convert the syslogd micking configuration file to a newer format. I am just curious about the warnings when installing the package without changing the configuration.

There is no point in waiting for this bug to be fixed. If you want it fixed, you (yes, you the reader) need to fix it yourself. If you're not already a package maintainer at OpenCSW, you can look at the 35 minute long tutorial[1] to get started - then you can offer your patch to package maintainers. You can find OpenCSW people on the users mailing list[2] and on the #opencsw channel on IRC on Freenode[3].
