Well, that would first involve having a logging API to use.

For command-line based programs such as TShark, it would print them to stderr; 
for Wireshark, it could put them in an "error console" window that the user 
could pop up.  (On some OSes, output to stderr from GUI programs shows up in a 
log window, but that's not guaranteed.)

So what's the code that's registering your plugins (the reg_handoff routines 
for them)?
