I did everything as you did, however, when start the postmaster,
I got following:
FATAL 1:	'syslog' is not a valid option name.

Works for me. Did you change postgresql.conf? Here's what mine looks like.

#
#       Syslog
#
# requires ENABLE_SYSLOG
syslog = 1                      # range 0-2
syslog_facility = 'LOCAL0'
syslog_ident = 'postgres'

 From the online docs:
SYSLOG (integer)

     PostgreSQL allows the use of syslog for logging. If this option is 
set to 1, messages go both to syslog and the standard output. A setting 
of 2 sends output only to syslog. (Some messages will still go to the 
standard output/error.) The default is 0, which means syslog is off. 
This option must be set at server start.

     To use syslog, the build of PostgreSQL must be configured with the 
--enable-syslog option.
