Yes, this would be quite do-able with FloatCanvas.

That could work too. The major advantage FloatCanvas would give you is 
zooming and panning -- which you may or may not need. It'll also same 
you a bit of coding.

OGL is worth a look too. It's made for boxes-connected-with-lines 
diagrams -- I imagine it support circles.

If you do want more info about FloatCanvas, the mailing list is a good 
place to start:
