Will the final version include the "Wikipedia Portal" menu item by default? I think the MediaWiki release shouldn't contain any Wikipedia-specific strings.
I'm not aware of any such item. There is a "Community Portal" link, which can be renamed by editing MediaWiki:Portal and MediaWiki:Portal-url
By the way: what is the recommended way of customizing the menu on the left?
There currently is none, sorry. You have to hack up the template or the code.
And: are there any public tools available to convert a 1.2 iso-8859-1 system to a 1.3 utf-8 installation?
There is a tool of some sort but I'm not sure where it is offhand...
