You can use the CustomLog directive per virtual server. You could also
set environment variables depending on the request and use that to
log to different files, eg to ignore local referreres etc.

You might find the man page for CustomLog worth reading, too:

http://httpd.apache.org/docs/1.3/mod/mod_log_config.html#customlog
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/mod/mod_log_config.html#customlog
