You can either:
1) install pmwiki multiple times

/var/www/
	myspace.org/
		index.php (points to pmwiki.php)
		pmwiki.php
		wiki.d/
		local/
		wikilib.d/
		scripts/
		...
	yourspace.org/
		index.php (points to pmwiki.php)
		pmwiki.php
		wiki.d/
		local/
		wikilib.d/
		scripts/
		...

or use a farm:
/var/www/
	myspace.org/
		index.php (points to ../pmwiki/pmwiki.php)
		wiki.d/
		local/
		...
	yourspace.org/
		index.php (points to ../pmwiki/pmwiki.php)
		wiki.d/
		local/
		...
	pmwiki/
		pmwiki.php
		wikilib.d/
		scripts/
		...

You are probably misunderstanding what a basic farm is.  All it means  
is "install once, run multiple wikis, only one place to upgrade.   
Yay!".  You have an OPTION to have those wikis share data, etc. but  
that's not needed.

I have several wikis running on a farm that do NOT share data between  
them.  But I only installed pmwiki once, put any cookbook modules I  
might want in and call them from mydomain.org/local/config.php as  
needed.

Otherwise, you can install PmWiki in any directory you want and run  
it -- preferably a directory that your web server can access :)

Are you having problems with Apache (supposing that you're using  
Apache) and setting up the Virtual Hosts?  And do you have a  
directory structure of some sort where each site is in a separate  
space (as example above) already set-up?  If you need help with that  
portion, is it Apache 1.x or 2?
