You might be able to use Basho's lager logging framework:

https://github.com/basho/lager

which is available as a plugin for RabbitMQ:

http://www.rabbitmq.com/community-plugins.html#logging

but you'd need to add lager_syslog:

https://github.com/basho/lager_syslog

which is not available pre-compiled for RabbitMQ.

I don't know if anyone has actually done this, but it stands a 
reasonable chance of working.
