For the ones that are tightly clustered, you could use the annotate
command to move the text farther away from the associated point.
Annotate has support for drawing an arrow from the text label to the
annotated point.  But it won't do auto-layout -- you'll still have to
choose the coordinates of the text label  so they don't overlap.
