If you train yourself to become a decent draftsman, you can draw diagrams interactively on the whiteboard, explaining each part as you go. It's often more explanatory than throwing up the diagram all at once. Sometimes there is no substitute for a photographic image though. Animations can also be amazingly useful.

I find LaTeX and TikZ perfect for that. If you're comfortable with programmatic markup, it's easy to produce detailed incremental diagrams with minimal effort, without the usual Powerpoint approach of "copy, paste, edit second copy, repeat, hope you never need to systematically change the base diagram".
