How about GO Term Finder?  The folks at Princeton have a nice, very  
flexible implementation of it available on their web site:
http://go.princeton.edu/cgi-bin/GOTermFinder
You can try it out with the list of S. cerevisiae genes they provide  
(the "SGD sample gene list").  Scroll down the results page to see  
the graph; it is displayed below the results table.

It's open source; see
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/15297299?dopt=Abstract
