I did not think this was the same as the 128 bit encryption wipe that
pgp does. Happily correct me if I am wrong!

If you have an Applecare contract, you can call Apple with this very
same question. Their web site only has

<a style='text-decoration: underline;' href="http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=153472&sessionID=anonymous" target="_blank">http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=153472&sessionID=anonymous</a>
|619972&kbhost=kbase.info.apple.com%3a80%2f

which isn't enough to answer the question, short of looking at the code.
If that's what you need, then you'll have to look elsewhere. Try
installing fink and gpg.

I have installed fink and gpg but there is not command line equivalent
of pgp -w somefile that i can find in gpg. Please correct me if I am wrong!

Look for "srm" for a command line program.

"Secure Empty Trash" uses a 7-pass Gutmann algorithm.

srm is already installed on your Panther system. "srm -m" looks
like what you want.<!-- ~MESSAGE_AFTER~ -->
