Have you looked at the documentation on writing custom shapes? It is in
doc/custom-shapes in the dia tarball. It may do what you want, and
requires no knowledge of C programming, and not much about dia's
architecture.
Take a look in the shapes/ directory for examples of objects using the
code (maybe half the objects in dia use it).
