Try putting a line like:

8:2345:respawn:tail -f /var/log/apache/access.log > /dev/tty8

... into /etc/inittab (removing any other line referring to tty8, of
course), and restarting init with 'telinit q'.

(Putting any kind of filtering on this seems to require a Perl script or
the like; unfortunately, the standard shell-based text utilities do
rather too much buffering to be useful in this context.)
