For CD's: cdrecord (using the SCSI cd driver and atapicam driver)
For DVD's: growisofs (part of the dvd+rw-tools port)

These are command-line programs. Looking through the manual pages you
can easily write e.g. a shell-script for backups. I've made a script to
back up my home directory to a DVD. I can send it to you, if you like.
