What exactly do you need as the final product here?  A list of links, a
diagram, some other visualization scheme?

Condolences.

Not knowing what you really want and not being a sitemap fan, I can suggest
two general purpose web authoring tools Dreamweaver and GoLive. With either
one, the apps will scan local/remote sites and create link relationships
automatically for you and update with any changes. You'll get quite
elaborate maps/diagrams, with a fair amount of customization in
display/print. If you think they are pricey, however, there's another one on
the shareware side ($18):

If you are adventurous, there's OmniGraffle Pro that can import text files
and generate formatable diagrams automatically.  OG Pro can also read/write
Visio files and is AppleScriptable.

If you need more, well, you need to say something like, "How come there's no
software on OS X!" or something like that. :-)
