You can just create an encrypted disk image:

Create one with Disk utility, and make it large enough to hold all your stuff.
Make sure you select the encrypt option.

Then to add stuff, just mount the disk image (and enter your password) and drag stuff into it. To lock it up again, simply unmount it.

This will obviously only work on macs.
