Just move your .htaccess file up one level to the directory that
corresponds to your url "root".  Then urls like

    http://undertheoak.net/Main/HomePage

will be correctly forwarded to /pmwiki/pmwiki.php?n=Main/HomePage

You'll still want to have variable settings in your config.php:

## for clean URL
  $EnablePathInfo = 1;
  $ScriptUrl = 'http://undertheoak.net';
  $PubDirUrl = 'http://undertheoak.net/pmwiki/pub/';
  $UploadUrlFmt = 'http://undertheoak.net/pmwiki/uploads';

If you're wanting to preserve the 'wiki/Main/HomePage' syntax, you
can either use aliases as before, or just rename the pmwiki/ subdirectory
to wiki/ and update the RewriteRules and variables to use 'wiki' instead
of 'pmwiki':

## wiki/.htaccess
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^([A-Z].*) /wiki/pmwiki.php?n=$1 [L,qsappend]
RewriteRule ^$ /wiki/pmwiki.php [L,qsappend]

## for clean URL
  $EnablePathInfo = 1;
  $ScriptUrl = 'http://undertheoak.net/wiki';
  $PubDirUrl = 'http://undertheoak.net/wiki/pub/';
  $UploadUrlFmt = 'http://undertheoak.net/wiki/uploads';
