Summary and with thanks to Paul and Gyula:
This depends on your POP daemon.
We use the University of Washington's imap/pop package, and it records
logins and logouts in /var/adm/syslog.dated/*/mail.log. I'm not aware
of anything else it does for login recording, nor do I know what other
flavors of POP daemons do. This was inconvenient to use for the
purposes I wanted, so I added code to also `touch' a .lastpop file in
the users' home directory.

Qualcom popper makes log file by default in
/var/adm/syslog.dated/daily_saves/mail.log
