Trampling is unlike flying or berserk in that it cares about base enc I believe, so a 0 enc trampler gets no fatigue from goin a-tramplin. See behemoths.
Wait, 0-enc flyers gain fatigue??? That's really interesting. (By the way, I think everyone knows that flying causes you fatigue proportional to the distance you move. What surprises me is that I assumed it was in some way proportional to your melee encumbrance as well, which would make 0-enc flyers immune.)

IMHO, it's simpler to think of trampling as a melee attack that you perform multiple times instead of trying to draw analogies to special abilities like flying or berserk. Each time you trample you take [melee encumbrance] fatigue, affected by all the normal modifiers including armor weight, swamp/cold/heat, and base encumbrance. As usual if you're 0-enc your melee encumbrance is 0.
