Are you using XFBML or an iframe to implement the Like button? I If you're using XFBML, you can give Facebook a callback function whenever an event happens through Facebook. When someone 'likes' your webpage, Facebook generates an event called 'edge.create', as listed here.

You can get some information from your users via http://www.facebook.com/insights.

Similarly, when someone comments on your page, a 'comments.add' event is fired.

There's more information about the Facebook 'like' button in Facebook's own documentation.

Edit:

Judging from this passage found in Facebook's documentation :

The XFBML version is more versatile, but requires use of the JavaScript SDK. The XFBML dynamically re-sizes its height according to whether there are profile pictures to display, gives you the ability (through the Javascript library) to listen for like events so that you know in real time when a user clicks the Like button, and it always gives the user the ability to add an optional comment to the like.

It doesn't seem to be so.
