Thanks for the hint. Patch attached. With this weewx runs, gets
archive records, posts them to mqtt, and creates and rsyncs the html
pages. And log messages appear in /var/log/messages (which is where
syslog puts them per local config, tos that's fine.).
I am still seeing an issue, but I am 99.9% sure it is unrelated.

It was.
I would suggest that if there isn't a match, that the code throw an
exception rather than assume a default. The UDP port 514 might be for
Linux, and if so I think it would be better to just put that first and
be explicit.
OpenBSD is likely also /var/run/log; this layout is inherited from
somewhere along the 4.3BSD to 4.4BSD lineage (syslogd originated in
4.3BSD, but I think 4.4 regularized some paths into the modern BSD
hier(7) layout.)
