   Named Pipes
       This version of syslogd(8) has support for logging output
       to named pipes (fifos). A fifo or named pipe can be used
       as a destination for log messages by prepending a pipe
       symbol (``|'') to the name of the file. This is handy for
       debugging. Note that the fifo must be created with the
       mkfifo(1) command before syslogd(8) is started.

You just need specify the path to the pipe in syslog.conf.
