Rodrigo,

mkgmap can create maps which show speed cameras, but you will need to  
create a custom style.  You would then edit the points file within  
this style and add a rule like:
highway=speed_camera [0x0052 resolution 23]
0x0052 plots as a camera POI, but you could choose a different code if  
you wanted to use a different symbol.

Finally, you would need to invoke mkgmap with this style, e.g
java -jar mkgmap.jar --style-file=path/to/yourNewStyle mydata.osm

Have a read of  
http://www.cferrero.net/maps/guide_to_mkgmap_style_files.html for more  
info on customising styles to show things that don't appear in the  
mkgmap default style.
