On Linux, I've installed Libtrash, a "trashcan" which works even at the console. I think it's just a series of scripts, but it works superbly. I tried installing it on FBSD, but it failed to compile, exiting with this error message:

  /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -ldl
  *** Error code 1

If I knew what I was doing, I'd surely try to port Libtrash to FBSD. Sadly, I'm not a knowledgeable developer, just a dumb user. If anyone is interested:
