You could write a SECURITY DEFINER function thusly:
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION set_log_min_duration(integer) RETURNS void
LANGUAGE plpgsql VOLATILE STRICT SECURITY DEFINER
SET search_path TO pg_catalog,pg_temp AS
$$BEGIN
EXECUTE 'SET log_min_duration_statement = ' || $1::text;
END$$;
REVOKE EXECUTE ON FUNCTION set_log_min_duration(integer) FROM PUBLIC;
Then you can grant EXECUTE privileges to the users you want to
be able to change the setting.
