No, as its syslog the events are logged to the system syslog, 
/etc/syslog.conf (or rsyslog.conf or whatever is available on the 
system) is used to configure where to log events.

hmm, probably to do this you need to use the openlog function first [1]

you can use the local0 to 7. For the nature of syslog you cannot define 
it based on a process id or name.

rsyslogd should be able to acomplish this with a special filter. [2]

you can put something like this at line 106 of lib/main.inc.php

openlog('openupload',LOG_PID | LOG_ODELAY, LOG_LOCAL7);

Hope this helps,
Alessandro
