Add something like this to your /etc/rc.conf file:

syslog_flags="-a 10.1.1.0 -vv"

...on the loghost, where you replace the network address with whatever 
is appropriate for your case.  You'll need to configure /etc/syslog.conf 
  on the loghost to do whatever with the various logging types.  On the 
other FreeBSD boxes, refer to the line with @loghost in syslog.conf.

Convincing Win2K to log via syslog is a seperate question, but there are 
  products around which will monitor the event log and send the data to 
a Unix syslog host via various facilities and such.
