you could use loggen to send to a specific port, on which syslog-ng would be
listening, then create a log statement sendîng to that file, e.g. off the
top of my head:

log {
  source {
    syslog(
      port(1234)
    );
  };
  destination {
    file(
      '/tmp/loggen.log'
    );
  };
};

loggen -D "blah blah blah" localhost 1234
