Does this get you started?

digraph G {
    graph [rankdir = LR];

    node[shape=record];
    Bar[label="{ \"Bar\"|{<p1>pin 1|<p2>     2|<p3>     3|<p4>     4|<p5>     5} }"];
    Foo[label="{ {<data0>data0|<data1>data1|<data2>data2|<data3>data3|<data4>data4}|\"Foo\" |{<out0>out0|<out1>out1|<out2>out2|<GND>gnd|<ex0>ex0|<hi>hi|<lo>lo} }"];

    Bew[label="{ {<clk>clk|<syn>syn|<mux0>mux0|<mux1>mux1|<signal>signal}|\"Bew\" |{<out0>out0|<out1>out1|<out2>out2} }"];
    Bar:p1 -> Foo:data0;
    Bar:p2 -> Foo:data1;
    Bar:p3 -> Foo:data2;
    Bar:p4 -> Foo:data3;
    Bar:p5 -> Foo:data4;

    Foo:out0 -> Bew:mux0;
    Foo:out1 -> Bew:mux1;
    Bew:clk -> Foo:ex0;

    Gate[label="{ {<a>a|<b>b}|OR|{<ab>a\|b} }"];

    Foo:hi -> Gate:a;
    Foo:lo -> Gate:b;
    Gate:ab -> Bew:signal;
}

Note that I used nonbreaking spaces as a cheeky way to get the alignment (I think, I did _{^{C-kSpaceSpace}} in vim, leading to Hex 00a0 char)

You can also employ HTML inside the label definitions, so you can use fonts, colors and create 'spacers': http://www.graphviz.org/doc/info/shapes.html#html

I suppose aligning labels would be easier with HTML nodes.
