It should work out of the box. A simple :syntax on should work.
Vim's runtime files contain detection of logfiles below */log/
which should work for most of those files below /var/log/ without
problems. But I believe there have been some changes on that matter
to the runtime files within the last half year, so you might need
to update your runtime files.
