Use the logrotate program to cycle your logs - it's probably installed
already if you're using a fairly modern distro. As netfilter logs to
kernel.*, you would want to look at the /var/log/messages section most
likely (unless you told kernel.* to log somewhere else in syslog.conf).
run "man logrotate" for a full description, eg:

/var/log/messages {
 rotate n [keeps n logs in the cycle]
 weekly/daily/monthly [period for rotation]
	}

there are a lot of other options available such as zipping of old log
files, archiving to a seperate directory etc.
