I’ve done this before using the SlippyMap plugin. Reprojected the image in
Mercator projection and then cut the image into tiles and saved them in a
local folder according to OSM naming conventions (this is the trickiest
part), then pointed the slippy map plugin tile server information to my
local folder (file:///local_folder_path). If zoom level 12 is not
appropriate for you map, use the plugin version modified for multiple zoom
levels (pity it only allows for zoom levels up to 17 though, which is not
enough for very small scale maps).
