Individual files only, or whole disks?

If wiping entire disks, http://dban.sf.net.

For individual files in Windows, one reasonable free program is
sdelete, from the former Sysinternals team - it's free on the MSFT web
site.

Otherwise, as indicated by Stephen, bcwipe should do what you want.
It's available as a port for FreeBSD, and as a Win32 program.

See also secure_delete, from http://www.thc.org for *nix platforms.
