I think there is a software for KDE called Karamba that can do this.

You could basically open a terminal window and run something like
less +F /var/log/syslog
Some terminal programs like eterm allow you to switch off all
decorations and set the background color to "transparent". This way you
don't see the window itself - only the text.
