Josm has not really been designed as a full wysiwyg editor but you can try and modify the style using mappaint which is now integrated into JOSM rather than being a plugin. http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/index.php/Mappaint
If you are going to be pulling the data regularly then I would investigate using osmxapi and specifying a bounding box. http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/index.php/Osmxapi For previewing an osm file locally you could have a look at Kosmos. http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/index.php/Kosmos It is primarily windows based but there some recent discussion on using it on linux http://lists.openstreetmap.org/pipermail/talk/2008-February/023190.html But as Andy says, have a look through the wiki for your details about your specific type of PDA, a lot of the work may already be done for you.
