You could theoretically send syslog messages. See /etc/syslog.conf (or
whatever configuration you use for rsyslog). However the problem is that
you can't tell in advance what terminal device you'll get when logging in
through ssh.
As for making it the console device: I don't believe it is possible.
This is set at boot time.
