the Help: effort on Meta was started less than two months ago. As a  
result, the associated pages are still fairly chaotic and often include  
Wikimedia-specific content. There is currently no script to import them  
automatically.

My recommendation for now is to browse Help:Contents and select the pages  
which you think are useful/important, and copy and paste their content  
into your wiki manually.
