[EDIT]

Been a few months :P. You can use the URDF model to publish the transforms. Using the <joint> tag allows you to enter the parent ID, child ID, and origin transforms between links.

If you want to make a quick tranform tree though, here is the transform broadcaster I made for a robot while working on my MASc. Making the transform tree doesn't give you a visual, but it does provide the transforms between parts.
