The html legend is the best method.
You need to edit the xml of the dashboard.
for simple xml see http://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/5.0.1/Viz/PanelreferenceforSimplifiedXML#HTML_panel

< row > < graph >mygraph... < /graph >
< html > my legend< /html >
< /row >

Otherwise, you can add the definition directly to your fields in the search.
But your legends may always be cut if they are too long.
A last option is to display a pie chart AND a table of your results that will act as a legend. (see post process for using a single search to populate 2 panels)

example :

mysearch | stats count by country
| eval country=case(
country=="USA", country." - United States of Antares",
country=="USSR", country." - Union Sovereign of the Saturn Rings",
country=="FR", country." - Federation of Rigel",
country=="MV", country." - Merchants of Venus",
1==1,country." - unknown "
