Is there any good, free program for OS X that can create RAR files? Preferably with a GUI.
It seems there are plenty of options for extracting RAR files, but not that many for compressing them…

There's no default application to handle .rar file on Mac OS X.
You might want to try The Unarchiver. It can open many format besides rar files.
Then once you installed it, open its preferences and select all the file format you want him to manage.
iUnarchive seems to be quite nice. It is available at the App Store.
iUnarchive can be used to preview and extract files from archives. Instead of cluttering the disk with files, you can preview and open files directly from within iUnarchive.
Only files selected for preview and extracted files are actually uncompressed.
Supported archives include zip, rar, 7-zip, tar, gzip, bz2/BZip2, LhA and StuffIt, including password protection for zip, 7-zip, rar and multi part rar.
Edit: Not sure if you looked for a free application. It costs 4 Euro now (I think it was free before).
