I've solved this, after a fashion. Thanks again for your help. It turns out that the logfile directory, /var/log/privoxy, was accessible by root only, even with permissions changed. (Is this a basic BSD security thing? I googled that a little but was not sure.) I guessed it has been done for a reason and did not try to break it.
So, I changed the location for logfile to /usr/local/etc/privoxy/log, copied the files from /var/log/privoxy there, changed their permissions, and put a little shell script in ~./.kde/Autostart to start privoxy and to point to the config file. My guess is that user privoxy could not get into /var/log/privoxy either, and that with the logfile directory changed and with all the flags (user=privoxy, /usr/local/etc/privoxy/conf) set in rc.conf, it would have worked as well. I don't know how to set two flags at once (my guess is a line saying privoxy_flags="user privoxy"," /usr/local/etc/privoxy/config" but I am not sure of the format and couldn't find documentation.
