I've already waited for this question ;-)
A few days ago I would have answered: use e.g. 
osmcomvert --complete-ways --complex-ways -B=polygon-file ...
but I found out that osmconvert is not able to detect polygons that enclose
the polygon. Splitter is able to do that for a bounding box 
with the keep-complete option, but up to now splitter doesn't understand 
polygon-file format. I think it could be useful, I'll look at this when the
new
split algorithm is done.
