Can you give me an idea as to which parts/steps of the instructions at
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Geobase_NRN_-_OSM_Map_Feature your having 
problems with? I'm can try to clarify/provide more info on any steps that 
are unclear.

Basically you need to

1. Load the NRN data into postgis (using shp2pgsql which is included with 
postgis)
2. Load the OSM data into postgis with osm2pgsql
3. Generate shapefiles with the NRN and OSM data using stored procedures 
similar to those posted on the wiki page

Then you need to import the files into OpenJump/road matcher (The wiki has 
some instructions on doing this, and I can try to answer if anything isn't 
that clear).
