I haven't tried it, but that (i.e. only assigning the address to carp, and using carpdev) should work ok with bgpd. You'll only be able to run a session from whichever router is carp master, but unless you're able to either talk the upstream out of another /30, or use one of your own /30 for the second link to the ISP, that's the price you have to pay.
