Which version of Mac OS X do you run? Maybe 10.8 Mountain Lion?
In this case you'll have to install X11 first:

* Please install X11 (XQuartz) first - you may even have to logout/login
or reboot after this.

http://xquartz.macosforge.org

* Try to start Dia again.

Right now, you'll also have to adjust a security setting

As the current Dia app is unsigned, you'll have to "allow applications 
downloaded from anywhere".

I'll try to create a signed version in the coming days. Sorry that the 
installation information on dia-installer.de is currently outdated.

Steffen
