I don't believe there are any up-to-date visual tools for nHibernate mapping right now. I think it would be cool to have one if it could generate clean HBMs that could then be edited, but I still doubt I would use one anymore.
If you are working with an existing database you can use a code generation tool like MyGeneration to generate your HBM files quickly and save a lot of time (particularly if you need to work with a lot of fields and tables). If your not and this is a new database you should try to create your entities first and then you can use SchemaExport to create DDL scripts that generate the database directly from your mappings. FluentNH also has a Schema export. Honestly, I felt the same way about visual tools once, thinking they made life easier. However, once you get used to working without them you will never want to go back. Visual tools tend to be slow, unwieldly and are typically full of bugs (strongly typed dataset designer is a perfect example of this).
