As for rendering in general, it might be worth looking at one of the 
following (just my ideas):

1. GeoTools library

Not OSM-related, but has a PostGIS connector that most probably does 
some geometry column handling. Also has a renderer with SLD Styling. 
With the tool mapnik2geotools Mapnik styles could be converted to SLD.

2. JOSM

Renders OSM XML and supports MapCSS Styling (under development?). Don't 
know what it would take to use the rendering outside of JOSM though.

3. mapsforge

Rendering library for Android, uses custom preprocessed file format. PC 
port of the AdvancedMapViewer under development (see SVN source).

I would be interested in what you come up with.

Cheers,
ikonor
