I know that there are some tools to make a rough job at converting
XHTML to MediaWiki markup, although it's never going to be very
reliable or consistent. I can't seem to find them in a couple
minutes' Googling, unfortunately.
Can OpenOffice be run with shell parameters? It should be able to read
XHTML, and it exports MediaWiki AFAIK.
It can [1] and I was going to suggest exactly the same, until I looked
at the output of the export.
In my limited tests, it didn't handle nested lists at all (OpenOffice
v2.3 from Ubuntu Gutsy), so it's not a solution right now, but could be
a nice thing in the future.

[1] Shell alone doesn't work, you need to script OOo with e.g. Python,
but it's definitely possible.
