Unfortunately, there is no easy way as yet. Some people have just redirected their local Help: pages to the ones on meta.wikimedia.org, but this isn't ideal because it's still one page at a time (and I believe interwiki redirects have now been limitted to those sites designated as "local" in the database).
You *might* find it easier [than copying the text page by page] to import the appropriate content from a database dump, from http://download.wikimedia.org/index.php?thingumy=special Obviously, you need to ignore everything except the "help" namespace (pages whose cur_namespace = 12) - plus of course the templates used - it would be nice if these had some sensible naming scheme, like [[Template:Help/...]], but I'm afraid that's not the case as yet...

It'd also be great if all of the help pages were actually IN the Help: namespace. I offered to do that one day on IRC, but was shot down.
