That's because the timestamp isn't generated by syslogd, but by the program that logs the message. This is what the -T option exists for -- except it only applies to system log messages received across the network= =2E About the only way I can suggest for solving this is to use rsyslog from ports -- I believe that has the capability of changing the timestamp to when it received the log messages, rather than when it was originally generated. Plus it uses a rather more sensible timestamp format so the date-time is a single column in the output, and you can tell what the timezone offset from UTC was.
