Most of the modded clients save the map tiles in a cache. These cached files are then viewable with a simple HTML and JavaScript page. (I don't know of any that don't cache map tiles, but can't guarantee that all do as it's not a default behavior in the standard client.) What you need then is a program or script to organize them together into a larger map. There are some utilities in Artifice & Arcana. I thought one or two of them were linked in this thread's OP. I guess not.
Here's at least one of the possible tools. You'll need to dig around to see what else there is. I'm not a mapper, so I don't mess with these things. Someone else with more knowledge on which tools do what can probably point you to a variety depending on your exact need.
