from the carp man page:

A carp interface can be created at runtime using the ifconfig carpN
create command or by configuring it via cloned_interfaces in the
/etc/rc.conf file.


so, using something like:

cloned_interfaces="carp0"

in your rc.conf would create the device at boot time.  From there, 
you would just configure it like any other network interface.
