forgot something... I think tilecache can proxy OSM data (with a mapnik
layer or so), but I might be wrong.

As far as I can tell open street maps has a nice API and it should be a
couple days work to pull data in... making a nice renderer (or
converting to geotools features may be a bit more fun).
In anycase good idea - let me find you links:

I also found this in my searching

I remember back in the summer someone mentioned that they had created
a uDig plugin that would pull data from google maps. However it's not
really legal to redistribute it. So I was looking at
http://www.openstreetmap.org/ and they are actually very similar to
google maps but with out licensing restrictions. So it may be
possible to adapt that plugin to work with openstreetmap. Which I
think would be a big turn on for people to use udig.
