	This isn't named logging anything.  It's the kernel -- that's why 
the tag in the log file is "/kernel".  What you've done is configured 
the system to log an error message for connection attempts on ports 
that are not being listened on.  This is a standard feature of 
FreeBSD.

<http://www.FreeBSD.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=rc.conf&sektion=5>:


      log_in_vain   (bool) Set to NO by default.  Setting to YES will enable
                    logging of connection attempts to ports that have no lis-
                    tening socket on them.
