This can happen on land as well. I experienced it first hand last night.

I (Vandals) had a general walking around building watch towers who happened to be in a square where the Alemanni attacked the Goths. I was allied with the Alemanni, so I got dragged into a war with the Goths.

The truly ironic thing is that the Alemanni army was in my province because it was on its way to attacking me. It besieged me the next turn and I had two new enemies.

I don't know of a more subtle way I'm afraid, it would be nice if your diplomats or spies could convince both the Spaniards and Carthaginians that the other faction is looking for a chance to stab them in the back and that a 'pre-emptive' strike would be a good idea...
Isn't the "attack faction" option available as a diplomatic demand?

I seem to recall paying factions to attack other factions in MTW, but can't recall feeling a need to try it in RTW. The MTW map made drawing enemy troops away from their border with you worth paying for, in RTW you just go right through the border.
