Thanks James, I have looked at http://docs.qgis.org/2.8/en/docs/user_manual/working_with_ogc/ogc_server_support.html?highlight=server which seems like it would work - but I'd still need to avoid Postgis as the data source (read only filesystem) and sort out the rendering styles for use with QGIS - it may be possible to export the OSM Postgis tables as shapefiles & use those as the data source, but I don't know how to go about adapting the rendering styles, which is a large part of the value of OSM - data plus style.

It'd take a qgs file and the data it needs (which can be any input type QGIS uses, including shapefiles and spatialite dbs along with PostGIS).
