Maybe your best bet is to use a PostGIS database and osm2pgsql, which takes a .osm file and populates a PostGIS database. The only issue is postgis can be a bit of a pain to set up, but if there are pre-built packages for your platform it's a *lot* easier. Are you on windows? I'm guessing there's a prebuilt postgis for windows. See http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/index.php/Mapnik for more details.
