openssl is in the base system and supports a lot of encryption algorithms
You can hack up a simple script around it to encrypt files.

To encrypt a file:

openssl enc -e <alg> -in <plain file> -out <encrypted file>

To decrypt a file:

openssl enc -d <alg> -in <encrypted file > -out <plain file>

where <alg> can be des, 3des, blowfish, rc4 and others.

try 'openssl enc -?' for a list of options and algorithms.

You can try also gpg, it's in the ports
