I think that Nominatim already has a built-in process where you can take TIGER shape files and it runs them through an shp-to-osm processor and then imports them into the local database just as if they came from OSM; and I think there's even a supersede mechanism that will make sure that house numbers that come from OSM are given preference over those from the separate repository. So I believe it should not be difficult to modify the TIGER-specific import code to conver BANO data too. Maybe it's worth coordinating with those that run the American OpenAddresses database (Ian Deees?) who might have similar ambitions to plug their data directly into Nominatim.
