The 4232 blade only supports dot1q, so you are completely out of luck.  Very
recent version of IOS support ISL subinterfaces (12.1.3T and later, 12.1.5E
and later).  Still no word from Cisco on integrating dot1q interfaces (see
bug CSCds00250)
The 4232 blade uses a fairly obscure branch of code (12.0W) so I wouldn't
expect to see anything on that platform for a long time.  Nor are there any
other hacks that you can use to gather the information, like CAR...
