See the "Error Reporting and Logging" section of the documentation:

http://www.postgresql.org/docs/7.4/static/runtime-config.html#RUNTIME-CONFIG-LOGGING

You might be able to feed the logging output to a script that inserts
into a table, but make sure that important log messages are also
stored outside the database to avoid losing them if trouble arises.
