I think that an extension that allowed documents stored in a SharePoint directory to be linked to from MediaWiki is a perfectly valid and useful thing to do... even better would be an extension that allowed users to use SharePoint as a repository for document up-loads to MediaWiki.
Remember that while MediaWiki isn't designed to be used as an "enterprise wiki" it is widely used by companies ranging from very large corporations to small businesses - Some of the higher profile users of MediaWiki are Pfizer, Nokia and Razor Fish - It seems to me that there is a clear advantage to the MediaWiki community and the not-for-profit projects that it powers if there are opportunities for devs to get day jobs/make money from consulting on MediaWiki integrations.
let me know if I can do anything to help move this idea forward.

All that being said, the list of features at http://www.atlassian.com/sharepoint/features.jsp would be interesting for any company that has both a wiki and SharePoint.
(Also I've heard that SharePoint 2007 is way better than previous editions. YMMV.)

IMO, MediaWiki/SharePoint integration isn't a likely target for most developers. SharePoint's goals are very different from MediaWiki, to the point that an advocate for one is likely a dissenter to the other....
