Brian, as Lars mentioned, you'll need to run X11. If you don't already have
in installed, it is optionally installed from your OSX install disks.
Following the link below for more detail.

http://developer.apple.com/opensource/tools/runningx11.html

Once you have X11 installed (it will show up in your Utilities folder) you
may run dia by (1) running x11, (2) starting an xterm window, (3) typing
"dia" from the xterm window. As an alternative to (2)/(3) you can add the
command "dia" to you x11 application menu and start dia from there.
