cl-typegraph is a cl-typesetting extension to typeset graphs. It uses
Graphviz for the graph layout and then draws it with cl-pdf and
cl-typesetting. The nodes can contain strings or a full cl-typesetting
layout.

You can look at some examples here (page 3):
http://www.fractalconcept.com/ex.pdf

So far it only works with Lispworks but the only non portable function is
#'sys:call-system. (I'm waiting for patches for other implementations. ;-)

It's on the repository:
http://www.fractalconcept.com:8000/public/open-source/

And the latest tarballs:
http://www.fractalconcept.com/download/cl-pdf-current.tgz
http://www.fractalconcept.com/download/cl-typesetting-current.tgz

You will also need Graphviz:

Have fun and please report bugs, patches, etc.

Interesting. What's the output of Graphviz that you deal with? Doesn't
Graphviz normally generate its own PDFs?

I use the plain output format of graphviz. It's just the nodes and edges
positions.
Graphviz can output postscript than can be converted to pdf. But I prefer
something that integrates better with cl-typesetting and enables more
complex node content (+ legends and other stuff on the same layout and
better output quality)

I with you on that. I just hadn't realized you could get Graphviz to
spit out raw data like that. Cool!
