Lots of people tow trailers with CF bikes.
I highly recommend the Burley trailers with the rubber hitch and frame-friendly two-wheeled stability. With a set-up like that there is very little stress on the frame at all.
I live next to the seaway trail in upstate NY (it's a popular bicycle touring route), and I've seen quite a few people touring with carbon fiber bikes towing trailers the last few years.
There's no friggin way I'd put a rack and much of a load on the back of a nice carbon bike.
