Thanks Adam! I'd like to hear more about your exact use case. Getting all of the wikis to run out of a single codebase was a major part of the challenge getting things setup. If you want a repo per wiki, that should be a straightforward case of setting up another apache virtualhost, or using a different subdirectory for each wiki. If you want CentralAuth across them, that's pretty trivial too. Controlling all that with puppet, I defer to bd808 on :)
But it sounds like you may have something else in your use case, let me know.
