I wanted the same thing so that I could receive syslog messages from my
wireless access point...  There's probably a good reason that it isn't in
the binary distribution, but it is in the source distribution of the package
"inetutils".  When you go through setup, choose source for this package,
then go into /usr/src/inetutils-*, run "configure", cd to syslogd, run
"make" and you will have a working syslogd.

Once you have done this, you should create a /etc/syslog.conf file.  I have
syslogd running as a service with cygrusrv and with the arguments "-p
/dev/null -d".
