It will be re-created if you delete it. It's better to do as follows:
sudo gainroot
cd /var/log
rm wtmp; ln -s /dev/null wtmp
The file will now be there, but symlinked to the bottomless sink.
(For those on the latest OS version: The above doesn't apply, as the file is not written anymore. It's for those on the previous version.)
