No, but you can write the log to a temporary file then check the 
errorlevel after xxcopy completes. If there's no error (errorlevel 0 
or 100), simply delete the temporary log file. If there is an error, 
append it's contents to your permanent log file before deleting it.

On NT/W2k/XP you can do this in a batch file:

xxcopy   /params/on%temp%\xxcopy.tmp
if %errorlevel% EQU 0 goto :eof
if %errorlevel% EQU 100 goto :eof
type %temp%\xxcopy.tmp >> c:\xxcopy\xxcopy.log
del %temp%\xxcopy.tmp
