I'm not sure there is. There certainly seems to be an emphasis on combat itself (combat and battle as affinities) more than Orlanthi Humakt. So maybe for a Carmanian Humakti, it's all about being the perfect warrior, while for Orlanthi it is about the role of Death in the world?

Yeah, except that there is a Carmanian god of Torture, who is described as "an implacable foe of Humakt". That's what Peter was referring to in his post. (I found it looking at some of the Carmanian site links listed earlier.)
I don't really think there are light and dark Humakti btw. It seems there are light gods and dark gods. Maybe they get linked in pairs in the philosophy, but it doesn't seem you have gods with a "light side and a dark side".
