Whenever I use the tail command on filter.log, ipsec.log, system.log or
dhcpd.log I'm ending up with something like "3CLOG����" and tail stops
producing output.
I must admit that I'm relative new to FreeBSD, I'm mostly using Linux
and google didn't help, so please forgive me if this question is silly =]

The log file is a circular log, as such, tail is not appropriate. If you
use remote logging to another machine, you can apply "tail -f" there
with success.
The circular log prevents continual growth and allows in memory logging
on embedded systems.
If all of the machines that you are protecting are M$ flavored, consider
Kiwi Syslog.
