I remembered that at least version 2 of the Pentaho Metadata Editor has a hidden Schema Editor, you have to press CTRL-ALT-O to activate it. If you check out the newest version (Version 3 RC1) you will be surprised how much you can do with it already! After building your relational model in the Metadata editor you can quickly design your cube and reuse your relational model which can save you a lot of time. But remember, it's not supported by Pentaho yet and you have to copy and paste your schema to test it. I'm sure in the near future Pentaho will have a solution for it.
Another open source tool I found (I started working for the company recently) is Power*Architect from SQLPower. Power*Architect is mainly a data modelling and profiling tool but it also comes with a small schema designer, as you can see in the screenshot.
If you know any other tools and ways to create to easily create a schema feel free to comment.
