While could certainly draw those up by hand using a tool like Intaglio.app or Inkscape, I'd be inclined to agree w/ your initial intent to use METAPOST or something like to it.

Asymptote is a nice front-end and you may find it more amenable.

I've been trying to hoe this row for a while (wanting an alternative to using Macromedia FreeHand) and one interesting tool I've found is IPE:

http://sourceforge.net/projects/ipe7/

which is something of a graphical front-end to METAPOST.
