I am happy to help + host. I currently have a pet project helping with
aerial imagery + out of copyright maps.

Examples (all work in progress):
 * Surrey England:
http://faffy.openstreetmap.org/?zoom=11&lat=51.26407&lon=-0.43075&layers=0B00
 * Out of Copyright UK:
http://faffy.openstreetmap.org/?zoom=7&lat=53.29355&lon=-2.49618&layers=00B0
 * South Africa Topographic:
http://grant.dev.openstreetmap.org/cdsm-tiles-test/ (early attempt,
pre-rendered)
My current setup uses MapServer and TileCache. Re-projection and
tiling is on-demand.

The imagery is a fair bit of storage, but I'm sure I could work something out.

Regards
 Grant
