Here is my preferred solution:
Create text files without file-extension in the site root
(public_html/) (create normal text file first, then rename it)
for each field with a name which will be the
part of the root name for the fields pages, i.e. bliki, portfolio.
The content for file "bliki":
<?php chdir("pmwiki/bliki"); include("../pmwiki/wikifarm/pmwiki.php"); ?>
The content for file "portfolio":
<?php chdir("pmwiki/portfolio"); include("../pmwiki/wikifarm/pmwiki.php"); ?>

Create a .htaccess file in the site root (create a text file and rename)
with content:
<Files bliki>
SetHandler application/x-httpd-php
</Files>
<Files portfolio>
SetHandler application/x-httpd-php
</Files>

This declares the named files as being php files, without them needing
a .php extension.

In wikifarm/local/farmconfig.php set
$FarmPubDirUrl = 'http://arndis.godsong.org/pmwiki/wikifarm/pub';
$EnablePathInfo = 1;

In bliki/local/config.php  set
$ScriptUrl = 'http://arndis.godsong.org/bliki';

and in portfolio/local/config.php set
$ScriptUrl = 'http://arndis.godsong.org/portfolio';

This points to the fields "run.php" file, i.e. the one with the
include("../pmwiki/wikifarm/pmwiki.php") statement.

That should do it.
