I assume you mean following (pseudo code)

If SystempropertyCollectStatistics==True
    myLog.info( ... )

The correct way would be to use a special named logger and declare it in the 
propeties file with the desired log level.

Possible code in class with statstic logging needs:

 Logger myNormalDebugLogger = Logger.getLogger( <CLASS> );
 Logger myStatisticLogger = Logger.getLogger( "StatisticLogger" )
 static int count = 0;

void foo()
   myNormalDebugLogger.debug( "entering foo()..." );
   count++;
   if myStatisticLogger.isInfoEnabled()
      myStatisticLogger.info( "foo() called now " + count + " times" );
   ...

Within the configuration file you can enable the statistics by setting the 
level of "StatisticLogger" to INFO, disable it by setting it to WARN or OFF.

My developers are using System Properties to enable certain trace options (like 
collecting statistics) Is there a way I could define such property in the 
log4j.properties instead so we keep trace/log options and metadata together ?

So my developers will do
<aLog 4J object>.getProperty('my property') instead of System.getProperty() ?
