What about Monkey Grip and Exotic Weapon: Spiked Chain. Along with Two Weapon Fighting, Improved Two Weapon Fighting, Greater Two Weapon Fighting.
He now has reach with 2 weapons, and can make a trip attempt while doing damage with the other.
I think you get my idea, but I also think that this exceeds your limit of up to 4 feats. Would still be nice though.

hmmm
Frost giant cr 9.
Frost giant with barbarian levels of 12 or higher are able to take epic feats.
A frost giant with assuming 20 levels in barbarian would have 7 feats total.
4 normal 3 possible epic.
power attack, cleave, great cleave, improved critical, weapon focus (whatever weapon they use)
Epic feats: overwhelming critical, devastating critical.
devastating critical- on a critical attack, a fort save of 10+1/2 level +str modifier. DC is 20+ str modifier
overwhelming critical- on a successful hit, weapon deals an extra 1d6, if the weapon crit is x3, the extra damage is 2d6. If the weapon is x4, the extra damage is 3d6.
So assume a 20th level barbarian frost giant, raging, using a greatsword, with improved crit, dealing 2d8 (huge great sword) +str mod *1.5 +magic enhancements. on a crit, add 1d6 damage and a fortsave of dc 20 +str modifier or die.
nasty combination for the higher echelon of the frost giants. hehe

Whatever.
Personally, I'd have gone with more "barbarian"-oriented feats, at least if you have MotW. The rage feats and a few levels of Frenzied Berserker would do wonders for epic frost giants.
Also, you do know that Improved Trip requires Int 13+ and Expertise, right? It's not really a good path for a giant barbarian. I'd suggest either giving your tripping giant higher Int and fighter levels (so that he can take EWP: duom, Imp Trip, WWA, and Imp WWA), or going with the rage feats and Frenzied Berserker.
