There's no need to tell the director anything unless you're asked. If you're there auditioning, he assumes you do want a part.
If you think he'll give special consideration to your request if you let him know you want a lead---well, he won't. He already assumes everyone wants to be the lead.
If he comes right out and asks you "What part are you trying out for, Multiple Smileys?", then you just answer honestly and briefly. Otherwise, I see no point in mentioning a preference.

I have been in over 30 productions in community theatre, and my experience has been that a good director has many factors in filling a part. Myself I would rather have a character role. It may sound trite, but the truth is there are no small parts.

Actors can audition with a particular role in mind. It isn't a problem if they share that info with the director. Just be prepared to get offered another role or no role at all.
I've auditioned for a lot of theater and have specified roles only three times. None of those times was I offered that role. My reasoning was all about time: it takes a lot of time to rehearse a show and I had other immediate concerns, or commuting to the rehearsals would take a lot of gas, etc. Sometimes its just that was the only role that seemed right for me.

The director will chose whom he feels suitable for the role regardless of what you tell him. You're not going to influence his decision except that you may not get any other part because he may feel you'll not accept it if you're chosen.
We don't appreciate dropouts once a play has been cast.

Don't bother, director's know that every one who auditions wants the biggest parts. Just audition as best you can and take whatever you get and do it as well as you can. That is the kind of actor directors like.
