It can be done with the following index.php script:

    <?php
    chdir('mywikidirectory');
    include('pmwiki.php');

You'll need to work out an adequate .htaccess file.  Here's a simple
(possibly too much so) example.  It's three lines, so you'll need to
"unwrap" the third line.

    RewriteEngine on
    RewriteBase /
    RewriteRule ^([A-Z].*)
/path/to/mywikidirectory/index.php?pagename=$1 [L,qsappend]
