Tony, IsaViz is able to do that with at a fine grain: if you define a prefix binding for a given namespace URI and choose to display this prefix instead of the full URI in the graph, and then export your model to SVG, you'll get an SVG with prefixes instead of the full URI for this namespace, as it is displayed on screen in IsaViz. It will also work for PNG images as the PNG export is a screenshot of your current graph window. You can choose to do that for some namespaces or all namespaces.
