It's "just a bunch of files" -- there's a description of them at
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/index.php/Slippy_map_tilenames
though you probably don't need to know any of that to host them, a simple
directory of zoom/x/y.png images will do fine.
For more reference, we have some notes on the tiles at home server (like:
choosing a filesystem, using mod-rewrite to reorganise your directories,
returning specific images for "not found")
