I need to get diffs of ArgoUML diagrams. Are there any tools that provide Diffing capabilities to do UML?

I constantly make updates to my UML in SVN but I do not have a way to compare different versions.

I have seen UML-like Diff Tool from IntelliJ exists. But are there any other tools that don't require me to use IntelliJ?

Using EMF in Eclipse you can compare two UML diagrams.

http://wiki.eclipse.org/EMF_Compare/UML_Compare

So, you need to convert your ArgoUML to EMF standard by using the following framework.

Maybe some of these version control tools for models can help. They are not UML-specific but as the EMF-Compare tool mentioned before, they work with generic EMF models.

The EMF compare project does not work well. What you get is not really usable.

What I do in my project is to save my model and my diagrams on SVN. I then just look at svn to see modifications. You can not really see the dif insode a graph but it is usually easy to find out what has been modified because the model is composed by Name of the model > Packages > classifiers. The root can therefore be traced and the modified element find out quickly.
