The OSM API(s) are certainly useful for integration, but a different kind - if they were pulling small chunks of data, etc., then they'd be using an API, but at this point they're mainly using tiles. More to come, but at this point the process looks like OSM Planet + update chunks -> TileMill rendering -> MapBox Hosting -> Foursquare.
