Maybe this is not very helpful for you, but I have always
exported to EPS (Encapsulated PostScript) and transformed it
to PDF:

$ dia --export-to-format=eps diagramme.dia
$ epstopdf diagramme.dia > diagramme.pdf

The PDF is included using:

\usepackage[pdftex]{graphicx}
\includegraphics[height=1cm]{diagramme.pdf}

I finally do:

$ pdflatex document.tex

That way, no DVI nor PS file is generated, only PDF.

You can use all ghostscript based viewers to view eps and
pdf, such as gv, gnome-gv, etc. and you can use gpdf or xpdf
to view pdf.
