IIRC Graphviz comes with a Tk-based tool that is ridiculously simple
for creating small graphs.

The Graphviz fileformat is also basically very simple:

graph g {
a -> b
b -> c
a -> c
a -> d
b -> d
}

(that sort of thing - easy stuff.)

There's a Mac port of graphviz (at least, a gui app that renders
graphviz' .dot file format) that was produced by pixelglow and won an
apple design award some years ago.

See also http://www.graphviz.org/Resources.php for more linky goodness.
