Methods like this are pretty arbitrary and often inaccurate unless you have a web site that uses sessions. If you do have a user name or session key in the log files, you can use a custom logformat (http://analog.cx/docs/logfmt.html) do assign the %u (user) variable to that data. Then your User Report will at least tell you how many total keys you have and the number of requests/page/bytes for each key that it shows.

Ok....well say I had the user name in the log along with the IP...then it is
possible to get some sort of a visit count that would be closer to the
"session" count that I'm looking for rather than the number of requests.
With that said, rules could also be made for "inactivity time" to denote
time frames of inactivity to denote one session from another in the case of
a user "visiting" your site from the same ip, and with those 3 things
combined you could possibly get a visit or session count.
