I was in a similar situation 6 months ago when I moved the LyX wiki site 
from MoinMoin to PmWiki. Here's what I did:

* Wrote a script (get.sh) that downloaded a MoinMoin page to a file and 
  ran a filter (sed) on it.
* Wrote a function 'lyx-save-as' for Emacs/pmwiki-mode (lyx-save-as is 
  basically a wrapper function that knows the URI of where to save the 
  buffer so that I don't have to enter the lyx URI all the time).

Then for each page, I did the following:
* Ran the script to get the page (saving the page to e.g. PageName.pmwiki)
* Opened the file in Emacs (the .pmwiki extension starts pmwiki-mode).
* Made any changes that the script/filter hadn't fixed.
* Ran the function 'lyx-save-as' from within Emacs that saved the page to 
  a new page at the lyx wiki site.

This solution worked well for me.
