A diagrams package (such as Paul Taylor's) could handle this, though you'd
have to figure out how to make the diamonds and triangles for yourself.
(Paul Taylor's macros, at least, can make lines touch the source and
destination boxes.  This is important to note since most diagrams are
drawn with space around the arrows.)  See the FAQ list for diagram
packages.  Look also at xypic; it might give better results, but I haven't
used it so I don't know.
