For things with a lot of pins, I usually just draw a box without pins, run a bus to it, and make the pin connections from a table with pins2gsch.awk. I get that into the documentation with pins2tex.awk. Diagrams are great for amplifiers and filters, but not very illuminating for complicated digital stuff. For me, a nicely-formatted table is a lot easier to read than a big mess of lines converging on a box.
