After a little poking, I would say, "Not yet, but soon."

I contacted OpenGreenMap about this after you brought it up, mostly 
because I thought the name was confusingly similar given the naming 
convention used by various sites rendering OSM data.  I received a 
response at 4:20PM local time from a Wendy E. Brawer.

She indicated that OGM has been considering OSM since day one, and that 
it is in the works presently.  I'm keeping the channel open if anybody 
has further suggestions.
