No idea what already exists, but if you’re using 2.0 then this is a good use-case for injection grammars, see this blog post: http://blog.macromates.com/2012/injection-grammars-project-variables/

Basically you need to create a grammar for your log4j statements (if you know regexp, that shouldn’t take many minutes, see http://manual.macromates.com/en/language_grammars for more info about TextMate grammars).

This grammar can be injected into source.java to give you the new scopes which you can then assign colors to via the theme.
