The best thing to do is to set up a minutely mapnik server. This uses all the standard software so no coding is needed. When you have the mapnik+postgis+osm2pgsql+mod_tile server set up, you can then export the minutely diff files from the apidb using osmosis, and import the diff files into the mapnik database. Instructions are at http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Minutely_Mapnik I've set up both the apidb and the mapnik db on the same machine many times, it works very well. Although it can be tempting to try setting up something to read the apidb directly, having two databases and the standard api replication system is much more robust and well tested.
