If the old url is encoded as Peter indicates:

[[http://www.example.com/wiki/Main.HomePage]]

then you could set up a local markup rule to make an automatic
redirection. In local/config.php, add the following:

Markup('urlmap', '<links', 'www.olddomain.org', 'www.newdomain.org');

This will cause pmwiki to link to the new address whenever the old one
appears in the page source.

If these pages a edited on a regular basis, you could also add a "replace
on save rule" which automatically changes old references to new ones,
whenever a page is edited and saved. However, I would wait until the
markup rule above has been carefully tested, to ensure there are no
unanticipated side-effects.
