There doesn't appear to be a if_carp.ko module in the -CURRENT source tree, however. Only the carp module itself;

You should definitely read this changeset:
http://svn.freebsd.org/changeset/base/228571

and the updated carp ifconfig syntax in man carp. As for if_carp.ko,
it was renamed into carp.ko as part of the CARP implementation overhaul.

This only affects CURRENT.
