Uhaul will rent a trailer for $15 per day, tie downs are $30, a gas can and gas is $30, gear will probably be close to $400 once boots and gloves are thrown in (if you go used, and I assume you already have a helmet). The other incidentals (some already mentioned) are sunblock, cooler + drinks ($30) , perhaps an EZ-up canopy ($60) to keep you out of the sun, and some collapsible chairs ($10). Add on lunch, etc. as well.
Once the upfront costs are taken care of, there's not much expense other than the gas and trackday fees. You can add tires on if you start getting crazy, but if you're only doing a few per year you can probably get away with a single set of tires per year. It's definitely worth the initial investment in gear.
Oh yeah, and the track fee. BHF was $160 per day the last time I signed up, and Road America was $185 per day.
