Ok, poking around the internet, I found a code to emulate vsyslog:

http://lists.samba.org/archive/samba-technical/2005-March/039711.html

+#ifndef HAVE_VSYSLOG
+#ifdef HAVE_SYSLOG
+ void vsyslog (int facility_priority, const char *format, va_list arglist)
+{
+	char *msg = NULL;
+	vasprintf(&msg, format, arglist);
+	if (!msg)
+		return;
+	syslog(facility_priority, "%s", msg);
+	SAFE_FREE(msg);
+}
+#endif /* HAVE_SYSLOG */
+#endif /* HAVE_VSYSLOG */

If AIX has vasprintf, this would be a candidate for replacement of
vsyslog.
