Sorry, too early, not enough coffee

gpart create -s gpt /dev/da1 

That will create a new GPT partition map and should wipe out what is there. If you really want to overwrite all the data, then add a partition that fills the entire drive and dd /dev/random to it

gpart add -t <type> /dev/da1

The type should be mostly immaterial in this case as you are just using the partition to allow you to write to the entire drive. I would use freebsd-ufs.
