The short answer is that it's coincidental. Many people, even those with Anglo-Saxon ancestry, have similar-sounding last names: you will see for example Smith and Smythe, or there are variations on the spelling of a first name, like Jon and John. In the case of Obama (a last name) and Osama (a first name), there is no relationship other than an accident of spelling, since the two names are derived from different cultures.
It should also be noted that there are several spellings of Osama-- including Usama. The reason for this is when foreign names that come from languages with a different alphabet are translated into English, there may be differing views of how exactly to spell it with English letters (not all languages have sounds that conform exactly to English sounds): we saw this with the former Libyan dictator whose last name was spelled either Ghaddafi, Quaddafi, Khaddafi, or Gadafy.
