You could use logrotate with the size option for this.

       "/var/log/snort/alert" {
           rotate 30
           size=100k
           postrotate
                                kill -HUP `pidof /usr/local/bin/snort`
           endscript
       }

And upgrade to snort 2.0.1 while you are at it.
