 From scripts/pmwiki.php

if (file_exists("$FarmD/local/farmconfig.php"))
   include_once("$FarmD/local/farmconfig.php");
if (IsEnabled($EnableLocalConfig,1)) {
   if (file_exists('local/config.php'))
     include_once('local/config.php');
   elseif (file_exists('config.php'))
     include_once('config.php');
}

As you can see, it first looks for a local/farmconfig, failing which it 
looks for a local/config, failing which it looks for a config in the same 
dir with pmwiki.

The last two are mutually exclusive, with the one in local/ having priority 
over the  one in the wiki 'root' (and any settings in the wiki config 
supercede any farm settings), so you should not have to maintain two copies.
