Right, as Joost points out if there is no tty12 specified you won't have one
to display syslog-ng. Check your /etc/rc.conf for this entry:
# on Linux and Hurd, this is the number of ttys allocated for logins
# It is used in the consolefont, keymaps, numlock and termencoding
# service scripts.
rc_tty_number=12
