hi,

for arcview 3.x (!) exists a commercial extension called "DiagramWizard"
for exporting charts to shapes - so you can use it for web mapping apps.
shapes gives you the ability to query the charts - if that makes sense
for your purposes.
there is a demo available, but I don´t know the limitations of the demo.
(http://www.alta4.com/de/produkte/download.html)

a another but complicated way is a graphic program (if you have) with
dxf-export and diagram building functionality where you can create your
charts manually. then import in gis, georeference the shapes/dxf,
reclass the parts of the charts with your id´s manually. this is only
practicable with a small dataset.

I would prefer Tyler´s suggestion with a georeferend chart raster layer.

hope that helps.
