Have you ever tried the "screen" program? I use it to set up multiple
split windows to tail various log files. You can setup your local
.screenrc to include something like:

screen 0 tail -f /var/log/messages
split
focus down
screen -t session1 1 tail -f /var/log/secure

What's nice about screen is that you can view multiple log files on one
terminal window. If you setup your console to use a framebuffer high
resolution mode it works even better.
