maps as in textures - use photoshop or any other image program. (not sure about any free ones)
maps as in mapping - use 3dsmax, softimage or blender(free) to uvw map the textures on to your model.

maps as in levels/worlds - use 3dsmax or other modelers supported by ogre tools
maps as in terrain map - any heightmap will do, and use the specialized terrain renderers

The Gimp is one of the best ones avaliable, and is almost on a level with Photoshop. And its Open Source!!

Also, the best place to find documentation on all of this is the Ogre Wiki.

Ogre also has libraries that give support to load BSP-file format. It is the format that Quake 3 uses and its possible to load Quake 3 levels into the engine. There are many editors that supports Quake 3 file format. (check the wiki, think i read something there about them). Also check the BSP demo in the Ogre demos.
