Yall know that if you just want to see multiple files at the same time you can use screen or vim or emacs or sed (for lighting), multiple pipes (maybe tee too) and plain old tail, or splitvt. Though, if you're going to go through the effort and put all of the logs in one stream, it would probably be better to just do it in logrotate (the right way imo).
What splunk gives you are advanced filtering, ajax'y web stuff, user management, reporting, etc etc etc. It's really overkill for most projects but its always worth looking at as what I consider 'the gold standard' - the Cadillac of what they do.
