Is there a way to force the courier process(es) to stop using their current logfile and cycle to a new one? Or is this a function of the system's normal syslog mechanism?

Yes, Courier uses the system's syslogd for logging.

1) stop courier 2) RENAME logfile 3) restart courier

Guess what: it still uses the RENAMED file as its log. Whacky.

HUP the syslogd, instead.
