There seem to be some other attempts to do breadcrumbs, e.g.:
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:PageTrail
Haven't tried, no implied endorsement.

The first answer works just fine (for now?) but, I
soon realised, <a

current page :-)
I'm not really putting a true breadcrumb. The wiki site is integrated
into a set of static html pages built with a tool called RapidWeaver
on the Mac.
This puts a very simple breadcrumb link on the bottom of each page.
For the purposes of integrating the wiki, I have a skin that takes its
design from the RapidWeaver program and combines that with the php
from Monobook. This combination happens whenever I rebuild and publish
the site from inside RapidWeaver. That means changes to the menu
structure (outside of MediaWiki) get made on all MediaWiki pages
instantly.
It's all working rather nicely now and most people won't really know
when they're in the static site and when they're in the wiki.

Skins
aren't meant to perform this kind of action. It would be better to
make
an extension which handles Breadcrumbs, and insert something
generated
by that extension into the skin.

What little snippet of PHP will return a properly formated URL so
that
I can have an <a href="<?php what goes here ?> "> tag that links
back
to the current page?
I'm skinning MW to fit with a site that has a breadcrumb trail on
other pages and I want to keep that consistent when users are in
the
wiki part.
You could do:
<?php global $wgTitle; echo $wgTitle->getFullURL(); ?>
