It's interesting that it's dia-python that produces these warnings.
Also, there's two ways to output png, using gdk-pixbuf (which wouldn't
work without X) and using libart.  Try giving option -t libart-png.  If
it claims to have no such filter, install appropriate libart packages
(not familiar with gentoo) and try again.
