For rendering the map with mapnik you'll need a different db schema than the one produced with osmosis. Have a look at osm2pgsql and yes - you'll need the postgis extension. The problem with the different projection will be that you'll need to modify the sql queries made in the mapnik xml to reproject to a different projection. IIRC the default osm2pgsql imports with is ESRI:900913 aka google/mercator.
