Yes.

The linelog module.

https://github.com/FreeRADIUS/freeradius-server/blob/master/raddb/mods-available/linelog

You either use the 'format' config item, which is xlat expanded and adds a single line to the log, or you can use 'reference' which is used as a configuration path, and selects one of multiple other format type config items.

How you use them is up to you, and what you're trying to do.

I believe linelog can also log to syslog.
