If I remember correctly, to send data to a FIFO, you can specify
the FIFO as a regular file in /etc/syslogd.conf. However, you will
have to be careful to make sure that there is a program reading the
FIFO at all times, if you are to avoid syslogd getting confused.

Instead of using a named FIFO, you can directly run your log handling
program by using the pipe in syslogd.conf, so if your program to
handle messages is in /usr/local/libexec/log_crunch.pl you can then
use the "| /usr/local/libexec/log_crunch.pl" in syslogd.conf.
