You have a few options:

1. samba could log to syslog as well, see the syslog option.
 bind could use syslog as well, see its logging statement.

2. you can use the file() source of syslog-ng, however you can't
 use wildcards in filenames so you have to configure samba to
 use a single logfile instead of separate files for hosts

3. write your own program which collects the logs and send it
 to syslog. You could use this program either as a syslog-ng
 source or your code could use the syslog() libc function, it's
 up to you.
