If you want to have individual pages in OmniGraffle, you need to split
the PDF first into single pages, e.g., with
<http://www.iis.ee.ic.ac.uk/~g.briscoe/joinPDF/>.  OmniGraffle does not
support the import of multi-pages PDF documents currently.

As an alternative, you also can open (not import) the PDF with
OmniGraffle. The PDF will be interpreted and every page appears on its
own canvas. However, the result is not very good in many cases.

I requested this feature you are asking for recently from OmniGraffle.
Maybe they'll implement it in a future version.
