Disk Utility? Supports up to a 35-pass erase. Or dd from the CLI.
dd of=/dev/diskX if=/dev/zero
Just so it`s clear, if you are intending on wiping the boot drive, boot the mac using the reinstall DVD at the first screen that comes up, look in the tools menu for disk utility and wipe the drive from there.
Otherwise i imagine disk utility will struggle to wipe the drive it`s running from.
