Sure.

Create a file /etc/logrotate.d/acpid (as root), with the following content:

/var/log/acpid {
	missingok
	notifempty
	compress
	dateext
	rotate 9
	size=+4096k
	create 0640 root root
	postrotate
		/etc/init.d/acpid reload
	endscript
}

Make sure logrotate is installed (rpm -q logrotate).

Actually that stuff should be included in the acpid RPM.
Anyone has some 5min to open a bug ?

cheers
