If you want it write it to a file local to the RTEMS machine, yes.

You can do remote logging (to UDP port 514 of a host computer) out of 
the box.
It is necessary to call 'openlog' prior to any 'syslog' activity.
Look at the implementation in

cpukit/libnetworking/lib/syslog.c

PS:

On the host, use the '-r' option to syslogd for it to accept remote 
messages.
