What you may wish to do is create an image handler plugin which handles the rasterization, so you can use [[Image:Whatever.vsd]] within the wiki as normal.
You'll find the built-in handlers here: http://svn.wikimedia.org/viewvc/mediawiki/trunk/phase3/includes/media/
And some sample plugins: http://svn.wikimedia.org/viewvc/mediawiki/trunk/extensions/PdfHandler/ http://svn.wikimedia.org/viewvc/mediawiki/trunk/extensions/OggHandler/
