Does if_carp.ko exist under /boot/kernel/ ?

If so:
[root at lefty] ~# ls -lart /boot/kernel | grep if_carp
-r-xr-xr-x  1 root  wheel    197392 Feb 16  2011 if_carp.ko.symbols
-r-xr-xr-x  1 root  wheel     44336 Feb 16  2011 if_carp.ko
[root at lefty] ~# kldload if_carp.ko
[root at lefty] ~# kldstat | grep if_carp.ko
47    1 0xffffffff814fe000 4dd0     if_carp.ko
[root at lefty] ~#

should work.
