I doubt that mapnik's handling of 32bit ids would in any way affect OSM 
rendering. So you can still use older versions of it without worrying 
that something will break.

Well, you've got less than 24 hours to update your osm2pgsql. 
http://textual.ru/64/ shows that there are 1.3 million nodes left, and 
for the last two days nearly 1.5 million nodes were added daily.

Though I fail to understand what would be broken if you continue to use 
32-bit osm2pgsql. Indices, maybe.
