One way to do it would be to do the whole thing backwards and instead of
having a wordpress page you're trying to include pmwiki stuff in, have a
pmwiki template that you include some bits of WordPress in - the

<!--file:/absolute/path/to/resource.php-->

construct will include the php output.

Alternatively - if you're not planning on changing the Site.SideBar too
often - you could do a view source on the navigation bar and use a php
include on a file containing just the right snippet of html....
