Umm... by default nmap only scans /TCP/ ports. syslog is a /UDP/ service.
Try sockstat(1) to see what network ports processes are listening on, and
use nmap like so to scan for UDP listeners:
# nmap -sU -p U:1-8080 hostname
Note that UDP scans intrinsically tend to take a lot longer than TCP scans --
the nmap(1) man page explains why -- so don't try scanning too many ports at
once, or you'll be waiting years for a result.
Cheers,
Matthew
