Yes you can setup a nice centralized syslogd, syslog-ng or rsyslogd
(depending on your distro) with each of the systems configured to send klogd
messages to all hosts for instance in an emergency, or whatever you define.

Further you can setup SSL encryption for the log messages in your local
network (although this is really not required since your firewall is your
bastion of trust).
