There's a request I've not heard before!

Not easily. I suppose the easiest way right now would be to save  
edit.html, potlatch.swf and any required JS/CSS to your hard drive,  
and open that. If you don't have an OSM install running, it will try  
to connect to "your local database" and fail, thereby just leaving  
you with the imagery.
