I don't know. However, Org-mode shouldn't mess with your diary unless explicitly asked to. (I don't know that for sure, since I don't use the diary, but one of the design goals of Org-mode is not to impose any feature on a user not wanting it, and it does it really well.) Also, do not fear the complexity of Org - due to the design goal mentioned above, you could just ignore the more advanced features and treat it as a simple todo-list manager. Though the fear that Org-mode will gradually creep into your brain and take over more and more of your life (starting with its digital part) may be legitimate;-).
