Hi there,

Depends on your definition of "easy" and what software you are using 
besides Illustrator.
In Linux it is "fairly" easy:
Use Osmarender (XML or Perl-Version) and convert your .osm to an svg. 
Either import that to Illustrator or convert the svg to pdf using 
inkscape (or anything else of course, but inkscape does pretty well 
since 0.46, using cairo to export to pdf).
I'm experimenting with this at the moment but I think I'll post some 
links to PDFs some time soon.
