If you don't absolutely have to do it in TeX, you might try "dag".
It's a small utility that takes a description of a graph and
automatically lays it out; it generates Postscript that can be
included in your TeX document using the psfig macros.  

It's most useful for large graphs where you don't particularly care
about the layout as long as it's legible.  See the man page or print
out /usr/misc/.others/doc/dag/dagmemo.ps.
