Hello Rlw,
To the best of my knowledge, OSBDM is primarily designed to be a part of Freescale Tower evaluation platforms. Thus, it gives a way for its user to debug onboard processor without purchasing a standalone hardware interface. I am not aware of any software utilities that provide standalone support for OSBDM design, as it is slow and meant to be used as a standalone hardware interface.
What application are you working on? What kind of quantity of devices are you looking to program.
There are a couple of standalone hardware soluations that are offered by P&E Microcomputer Systes.
USB ML 12 ($99)- inexpensive standalone hardware interface designed for R&D and programming small batches of devices. You can find more info here:

Cyclone Pro ($499) - a production programming hardware interface designed for R&D/automation/programming devices in production environment. It has USB/Serial/Ethernet interfaces. You can find more information about it here:

Both hardware interfaces are supported under Freescale Codewarrior toolset as well as FLASH programming and in-circuit debugging solutions from P&E Microcomputer Systems.
