Maybe, by default.

This is not possible with iptables or netfilter.  You want to read the
man page of your sysklogd, especially of syslog.conf.  You can specify
priority in a rule.   Maybe you want to use another syslogger (syslog-ng
provides file redirect on patterns, AFAIK, would be usefull with the
--log-prefix option.).

HTH,
 regards, Frank.
