You don't need to migrate to UTF-8, newer versions should work fine with the 
Central European characters, just make sure you include the file 
xlpage-iso-8859-2.php near the beginning of config.php, before calling 
XLPage():

  include_once("scripts/xlpage-iso-8859-2.php"); # before XLPage()
  XLPage("PmWikiCs.XLPage"); # after include_once()

Also, make sure you update pmwiki.php and all files in the scripts/ directory.

If you have some difficulty, contact me.

If your page names don't contain international characters, it should be safe 
to migrate: see http://www.pmwiki.org/wiki/PmWiki/UTF-8 .
