Only by changing the syslog.conf file and making each facility/priority
log to a different file.  That's actually the reason for allowing you
to specify such things...to segregate different kinds of messages
into different files.  Example:

	mail.emerg		/var/log/mail/emergency.log
	mail.alert		/var/log/mail/alert.log
	mail.crit		/var/log/mail/critical.log
	mail.err		/var/log/mail/error.log
	mail.warning		/var/log/mail/warning.log
	mail.notice		/var/log/mail/notice.log
	mail.info		/var/log/mail/info.log
	mail.debug		/var/log/mail/debug.log

Other than that, I know of no way to get the facility or priority to
be displayed.
