In the current version of VASP the dynamical matrix (at the gamma point) can be evaluated by using IBRION = 5, see the manual

http://cms.mpi.univie.ac.at/vasp/vasp/node115.html

After the calculation, the frequencies and eigenvectors will be written to the OUTCAR file.

Hope this helps.

Cheers,
/Dan
