The two major ones are gmax and FS Design Studio.
Gmax is free and can be downloaded in a number of places, FSDS has to be purchased from Abacus.
I'm an FSDS man myself

Actually, any program that can either export to a direct x file or its output can be converted to an acceptable direct x file that makemdl can use can be used for FS modelling:
Most use either gmax or FSDS (FSDS2 converts directly; FSDS3, like gmax, uses makemdl)
Other programs:
Blender - use separate converter
Caligari TrueSpace (v4.3 is free; x converter plugin available)
Also known to be used:
3DSMax - again, converter to x file/makemdl.
Rhino
Maya
AC3D
and there are others....
