Sure it can. Just pipe the stderr of tcpserver to "logger", which is a
program available on many unix system to do logging at a chosen facility
and tag, something like:
tcpserver -v -..... qmail-pop3d Maildir 2>&1 | logger -t mail.info

qpopper is too slow, in my opinion, because it makes a copy of the mailbox
before it serves mail, and also it needs to start from inetd. Consider
cucipop instead: very fast, small and has some nifty little features.
