On my website wikinerds.org I tried this setup:

many directories with their own subdomains:

/somedir -> jnana.wikinerds.org
/otherdir -> nerdypc.wikinerds.org
/anotherdir -> adapedia.wikinerds.org
et cetera...

in every directory there is a complete, autonomous, individual copy of 
MediaWiki. Actually it happens that many times the different directories have 
different versions of MediaWiki in them.

Every directory has its own LocalSettings.php file.

It is very important to have the wikiserver set to its subdomain and NOT to 
the grand domain (wikinerds.org), otherwise you will have serious problems 
with the cookies et cetera.

There is also a way to have a shared install of MediaWiki, but I haven't tried 
it.

Please let us know if you encounter any problems with this setup.
