Mapnik is just a rendering engine - where you put the tiles that it 
generates and how your web server maps URLs to those tiles is nothing to 
do with mapnik.

Our mapnik tile server uses mod_tile to server the mapnik generated 
tiles, which uses the google style URL scheme, not a TMS URL scheme.

If you want to configure a web server to use a TMS URL scheme instead 
then it is perfectly possible.
