Depends on what you expect an "RSS update" to contain.  Currently
PmWiki's RSS updates say little more than "this page was updated".

Still, any WikiTrail may be used as the source for an RSS
feed.  So, each person can create a page with a simple bullet
list of pages they're interested in, and then turn that page into
an RSS feed by using ?action=rss on the page.  To get the
most recently modified pages first, add ?order=-mtime .

For example, I can create a page called "Group.RSSList" that
contains

    * Group.Page1
    * Group.Page5
    * OtherGroup.SomeOtherPage
    * OtherGroup.AnotherPage

Then I can get an RSS feed consisting of just those four pages
by using:

    .../pmwiki.php?n=Group.RSSList?action=rss?order=-mtime

To add or remove pages from the list to be watched, I just
modify the Group.RSSList page.

If you really do want an RSS feed for just a single page, then try

    .../pmwiki.php?name=GroupProject1.PagenameProject_A?action=rss
