Interesting idea, but since we dropped way history in October '07, it will only go so far. It is probably easier to just use old planet files and import these into your database (osm2pgsql has a very handy bounding box parameter that lets you import only the section you're interested in). For planet files in API 0.4 format, you will probably have to use one of the old Perl scripts to cut out a bounding box first, then run 04to05.pl on the results, and then feed it to osm2pgsql. That's if you want to do it yourself. I can also send you an animated gif of an area of your choice if you give me a bounding box (as I have done for the geofabrik.de web site).
