Does anyone have a way to graphically display the CLOS class
hierarchy for a given set of defclasses?

Sure.  For an example, see
<http://www-jcsu.jesus.cam.ac.uk/~csr21/class-subclasses.png> (from
the McCLIM Listener), or
<http://bauhh.dyndns.org:8000/mcclim/screenshots/clim-rocks.png>
(Gilbert Baumann's class browser).

LispWorks also provides a visualization of class hierarchies.

In addition to the suggestions that have already been provided, you
might want to have a look at Edi Weitz's graphical overview of CAPI
classes:
http://www.weitz.de/capi-overview/

Although not "graphical" per se, it does provide a color-coded
interactive approach to illustrating classes and their relationships.
He does make the source code available as well so you could adapt it as
necessary if you thought it provided an appropriate representation.
