Try with 

./configure --prefix=/sw/usr/

or

./configure --prefix=/sw/usr/local

if you Gtk+2 installation is in /sw/usr/local.

I got the Fink package of Dia 0.90 to work with no problems that I
remember.

I haven't heard of anyone installing Dia 0.91 on Mac OS X.  I will try to
give you us much help as I can (unfortunately, my iBook went to school with
my wife, so I can't try it myself).  If you could keep track of any special
things that need doing to get it to work, that'd be a great help.
