It is possible, but not a simple change that you can just enable. 
You'll need to add a messagetable resource to the cygwin DLL and rebuild
it, as well as add registry keys for all event sources.  Search the
mailing list archives for details.  Here is a recent thread:

This is not possible without modifying the syslog code in cygwin, and
even then I don't know if regular applications can log to the security
log.
