Note: I will be describing what I see on my Tiger machine. If you have Leopard some details might be different.

System-based email is in the file /var/mail/username (where username is your user's "short user name"). Mail is really geared towards Internet email, so it does not offer a direct way to check this mailbox. You can, however, import this system email into Mail. Choose File > Import Mailboxes…; select Other (the key phrase here is "mbox file"); click Continue; press ⌘⇧G (Command-Shift-G); type /var; click Go; select mail; click Choose; make sure your short user name is checked in the Items to import list; click Continue; read the displayed info about where to find the imported messages; click Done.

Entourage should also be able to do the job. The key words you want to look for are import and mbox. Then just point it to your /var/mail/username file.
