I'm not sure how you might go about this.

I have WordPress (http://eclectictech.net/etblog/) attached to a  
PmWiki site (http://eclectictech.net/wiki/).

I used the same template I created for PmWiki, and messed around  
until it looked almost identical in WordPress.  I use XMLRPC  
(BloggerAPI) for content editing in both WordPress and PmWiki.  I  
used an incoming RSS feed in the PmWiki template to show the latest  
WordPress post headlines in the PmWiki sidebar.

Is there a reason that you're not using the blogspot pages directly?   
Blogger's template is a joy to work with, much easier than WordPress  
was, with the exception of the thin top navigation bar, which they  
only offer in 4 colors -- however as a designer I have to commend  
them in keeping it neat and tidy, taking up very little screen space,  
and giving people 100% control over the rest of the site look.

Aside from the blogspot/blogger branding on the top of the screen,  
one other issue is that people are technically leaving your site.   
However, compare my client's site:

http://lucidmarketing.com
and click the blog link.  I templated their Blogger account to match  
their website.  All the navbuttons on Blogger, with the exception of  
the Blogger bar, go right back to the Lucid Marketing site.  A  
visitor might not notice they left http://lucidmarketing.com.  In  
every case we made it as easy as pie to return to Lucid Marketing's  
site.

There's nothing stopping you from doing this with PmWiki->Blogger- 
 >PmWiki.

So to figure out your options, I would like to know more about your  
needs.
