That content flatly can't be added to Wikipedia, which expressly allows commercial reuse and derivative use. And, with regard to importing to Knol, how could you add the NC requirement without being the original licensor? Indeed, how could you add it at all if you've already granted, in effect, a commercial license by contributing the content to Wikipedia?
Of course assuming that the content on Wikipedia and Knol is exactly the same or with uncopyrightable changes. When you create a true derivative work you are as far as I am aware to license that work as BY-NC if the original work is CC-BY.
