Yes 'man hier' is available under macOS 10.14.6 /opt is not an unusual place to put open source stuff on Mac, it is what wview used as well. However, I would lean toward /var as well as Vince suggested or even put the logs within the user defined area (I have mine in /Users/Shared/weewx/logs) so it’s all in one place which has been nice from an accessibility standpoint.
