Nope. WYSIWYG You can make text using the Text function and there are no

You might want to look at other programs that can do that make a screen dump
and import the arced text as an image.
I have done that in CAD systems, but not with Dia, Gimp, or Inkscape the
open source drawing, picture and photo editing programs I use. I think it
is a *very *non-trivial bit of programming to implement such a thing.
I will be interested to see what other say about this.
Given the new "Standard - Outline" object already using cairo it should not
be too difficult to create e.g. some plug-in (maybe even with pycairo) or a
new DiaObject to produce something like shown in
http://mces.blogspot.com/2008/11/text-on-path-with-cairo.html
To integrate such with all the text handling in Dia or even the "Standard -
Text" object would indeed be "*very *non-trivial bit of programming" ;-)
