You could setup different facilities on the separate AIX boxes (local1,
local2, local3, etc..)

Then on your openbsd box add the following line to your syslogd.conf

#AIX box 1
local1.*                /var/log/aix1.log

#AIX box 2
local2.*                /var/log/aix2.log

Don't forget to update the syslogd entry in rc.conf. You must enable the
-u option.

Sure, check out the man page for syslogd.conf(5).
