Nothing new to 4.0, but a few of the things you can do besides using
tcpdump are:

route monitor 
        - see interface link state change
sysctl net.inet.carp.log=1
        - generates primarily protocol error messages
netstat -sp carp
        - display a number of relevant counters

If you want to do more complicated things, like run commands when carp
interfaces change state, you can have a look at ifstated.
