Another slightly easier option is to use the SimpleTable extension (http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:SimpleTable) to display a CSV export.
Except it doesn't do escaped field delimiters.
If you don't have control over your application's CSV output, you probably cannot use SimpleTable. Apple Numbers comes to mind... just spent a couple hours convincing myself that SimpleTables is not useful with the fixed-format CSV output from Apple Numbers. For example, most columns with dollar-formatted amounts of 1,000 or more will cause an unwanted column split.
Anyone know of a good open-source CSV parsing package written in PHP? Perhaps that could be glommed onto SimpleTable to make a standards- conforming CSV --> wikitable extension.
