Sankey diagrams might be your best bet. They show how values split and recombine over the stages of a process. I just used the d3 library for a visualization of Senate nominations. (In this case, the output was converted form d3 to Raphael for final product.)

d3 Sankey diagram example

You just need to arrange data as a series of nodes and links, though any circular links will fool the algorithm.

Yes. Since Michael Bostock (creator of d3) now works at NY Times, I'm assuming you're going to want to use d3. There's an examples page on the GitHub repo. ;-)
