Can somebody test this in Emacs 21 (which I don't use yet):

(defun make-diary-entry (string &optional nonmarking file)
  "Insert a diary entry STRING which may be NONMARKING in FILE.
If omitted, NONMARKING defaults to nil and FILE defaults to diary-file."
  (find-file-other-window
   (substitute-in-file-name (if file file diary-file)))
  (widen)
  (goto-char (point-max))
  (if (let ((case-fold-search t))
        (search-backward "Local Variables:"
                         (max (- (point-max) 3000) (point-min))
                         t))
      (progn
        (beginning-of-line)
        (insert "\n")
        (previous-line 1)))
  (insert
   (if (bolp) "" "\n")
   (if nonmarking diary-nonmarking-symbol "")
   string " "))
