Bill,
I believe you may be wrong here; apparently it can be done by making the
following change to the odm :
(AIX Rules !! ;-)
Directing Error Log Messages to Syslog
--------------------------------------
You can log error log events in the syslog file by using the logger
command with the concurrent error notification capabilities of error
log. For example, to log system messages (syslog), add an errnotify
object with the following contents:
errnotify:
en_name = "syslog1"
en_persistenceflg = 1
en_method = "logger Msg from Error Log: `errpt -l $1 | grep -v
'ERROR_ID TIMESTAMP'`"
For example, create a file called /tmp/syslog.add, with these
contents, then run the command odmadd /tmp/syslog.add (you
must be logged in as root to do this).
You can use the errlogger command to verify your setup.
I got his feedback from Chris Gregors. Thanks Chris !

Bruno,
You cannot make errpt write to the syslog file. The data in errpt is
generated by the errdemon daemon. The data in syslog is generated by the
syslogd daemon.
You can get AIX to log messages to syslog files by modifying the
/etc/syslog.conf file but they will not be nearly as informative as the
messages in errpt.
