Probably not, at least not in the core.  In order to read information
from other wikis in a farm, PmWiki has to know the location of
the other wikis' page directories, and that's not typically
available from an InterMap link.

In addition, there are any number of security issues involved;
especially if any of the wikis in the farm have any read passwords 
set.  Farms are primarily intended as an administrative convenience,
not a data sharing one.
