Is there a smart way to do this, other than downloading the center tile plus the 8 surrounding tiles, assembling the 9 tiles into a 768 x 768 image, and finally cropping it down to a 256 x 256 tile centered on the POI?
You could of course have a local osm2pgsql database, and then use the nik2img.py utility to request a rendering of 256x256 pixel around a given centre point. But if you don't want that then you will have to use 9 existing tiles. You can either "crop" them with Javascript (i.e. just display them in a displaced fashion inside a 256x256 viewport) or you can crop them on the server like the various "static map" implementations do but in both cases the 9 tiles will have to be retrieved by someone.
