If you have been using domain mapping for a while, and using the mapped domain as your primary name then you don’t really need Offsite redirect. Just change the domain to point to your .org hosting – this is the URL that will be in search engines anyway.
I assume that you will be importing your existing posts and want to retain SEO ranking here. I remember someone (timethief I think) saying that you had to use a certain option on the .org URL handling to make it use the same URL names as wordpress.com. If you do that then all links and searches should be preserved. I can’t remember what this option is though … maybe someone else can help.

@tandava108: I think you are referring to permalinks settings on WP.org:

Thanks, that was the one. The option is to set permalinks to use “Date and Name Based”:
