While it is possible to feed osm files to mapnik directly, as far as I 
understand, osm_id can be fetched even from postgresql database as a 
"feature id". Judging by a relevant issue 
https://github.com/mapnik/mapnik/issues/1662 before December it was 
32-bit. Latest commits dealing with this problem were uploaded in 
January, including an option to turn off BIGINT support (it will be on 
by default) and some tests.
