syslogd comes with busybox:

#define BB_SYSLOGD

in Config.h

then, in your filesystem do:

mkdir -p var/log

and then add something like the following into your "etc/init.d/rcS"

#! /bin/sh
echo "starting syslogd"
syslogd -m 0

the above creates a log "var/log/messages" for me. you'll need to look at the 
instructions for getting this to log remotely if that's what your situation 
requires.
