Ok, that could be done. In the reply from Samuel, he mentions $$. What
is that?

Does not seem to work, I changed on another computer having syslog-ng
installed:
/etc/syslog-ng/syslog-ng.conf
# Hurd specific, does not work
                    file("/dev/klog" program_override("kernel"));
# Original code:
#                    file("/proc/kmsg" program_override("kernel"));

from /var/log/{error,sylog} (plenty of them):
Jan 27 19:58:31 kvm-hurd syslog-ng[93]: Error invoking seek on followed
file; error='Illegal seek (1073741853)'
