Ditto on njhurst's recommendation for checking out Inkscape. While it's missing
several important features for doing diagramming, it's been picking up new features
steadily. Plus, since it builds on a good artistic drawing core, it's got capabilities
that many of the diagramming tools lack, so for diagrams that require a high degree
of artistry it might be more than sufficient.

Sort of orthogonal to this discussion but worth a mention - there is an SVG clipart
project at http://www.openclipart.org/ that has involvement from the Inkscape,
Open Office, and Freedesktop communities, that's building a repository of quality
clipart available in the Public Domain.
