nope.

People here have been using Parallels. We have a MacBook Pro that runs 
Mac OS X, Ubuntu Linux, and Windows XP Pro. Allows pretty seamless use 
of Windows applications if absolutely necessary.

However, . . .

You might not need to bother with Windows or Windows apps at all. Have 
you taken a look at OmniGraffle? Should be on your Mac OS X install 
already. If you like it, and it seems like it can do the job, then 
OmniGraffle Pro will both import and export visio files. You can also 
download a demo version or even get a demo license that will allow full 
usage but expire after one day.
