Just in case someone stumbles over this old thread:

Yes, in FeynCalc 9.3 we do have a function to analyze the UV (not IR!!!)
divergences of arbitrary Passarino-Veltman coefficient functions, c.f.

1287.html

I recommend to use it with the global option

$KeepLogDivergentScalelessIntegrals set to True

Then:

A0[m^2] // PaVeUVPart

-> -((2 m^2)/(-4 + D))

or

B0[SPD[p, p], 0, m^2] // PaVeUVPart

-> -(2/(-4 + D))

Alternatively (or as a cross-check) one could use PaXEvaluateUV /
PaXEvaluateUVIRSplit from the FeynHelpers extension. PaXEvaluateUV uses
Package-X, while PaVeUVPart uses a different algorithm from Georg Sulyok
