Yeah. But they're big nonetheless.
I just did a quick scan of the dia distfile and dependency list
Port Distfile size
--------------------------------------------------------------
graphics/dia 959,231
x11-toolkits/gtk12 2,851,547
devel/glib12 410,754
devel/libtool 535,519
devel/gettext 713,694
textproc/libxml 890,447
graphics/imlib 696,347
graphics/png 403,297
graphics/tiff 900,890
graphics/jpeg 613,261
graphics/libungif 301,291
--------------------------------------------------------------
9,276,278
(I haven't double checked this figure, but it looks about right).

need libxml. . .
. . . by the end of the week if possible. :-)
