Dead easy - you don't even need a proxy script. You just need a  
crossdomain.xml file on openstreetmap.org which would allow SWFs from  
free-map.org.uk to access resources on openstreetmap.org.

In addition, you'd need to authenticate by setting the 'token'  
variable (in JavaScript, passed to the Potlatch SWF) to  
"username+password". I built that in for you last time you suggested  
this. :)

What kind of custom features are you thinking of?
