It's probably straightforward to write a FUSE filesystem that grabs the
needed information from journalctl when read. Mount it somewhere under
/run and set up /var/log/messages as a symlink to the corresponding
file.

But I don't see the point. Just install rsyslog. It's not going away any
time soon.
