well, to "substitute" is a strong word. In any case it would be
interesting alternative to `ps.map` and d.* + cairo driver approach.

Generally speaking very interesting idea and worth to work on that.
But still I would say that closer mapnik integration will not replace
native GRASS display driver or `ps.map` module.
