I have a python script here: http://svn.yellowbkpk.com/geo/trunk/shp_to_osm.py It converts points, lines, and areas to OSM node/way XML, then applies the shapefile's data as tag/value pairs. Once you have that OSM data, you can use JOSM's search feature to do more work on applying OSM-centered tags. At this point you still need to do the reprojection outside of the script.
