I wish to animate a moving vehicle (toy cart) with some wheels. It it possible to apply a constraint or behaviour to make the wheels rotate as the cart moves along?

You can apply the spin behavior to the wheels with no problem. You just have to make sure the rotation and the traversing of your model along the ground match up. This is one of the things in Carrara that people have had on their wish list. -Kix

You could try the Cognito plug in from DCG. Even in demo mode it will be enough to coordinate the rotation of the wheels and allow easy handling of rotation by > 360 degrees. You still need to do the motion of the cart by hand (2*pi*r forwards for each revolution of the wheels). Mik

Yes, the cognito plug in sorted out both the wheel synchronisation and the movement via a "rack"
