In case you haven't seen these, the folks at Delta State University
have been making PDFs with the MGRS grid of much of the main
earthquake zone (and using some OSM data)--see them here:
http://edcftp.cr.usgs.gov/pub/data/disaster/201001_Earthquake_Haiti/data/map_products/MISSISSIPPI_DELTA_STATE_MAPS/
(esp. see the Haiti_6Kscale_8511A4size_Geopdfimage_Atlas_vDSU20100123
series)
They've been using ESRI products to produce the maps, but it would
probably be worthwhile to talk to them if you want to do something
similar. The Director there is Talbot Brooks. tbrooks at deltastate.edu
