I use the following settup:

wiki-dir (from the tar file)
- docs/
- extensions/
- includes/
- skins/
- ...
- sites/
  - site1/
    - index.php
    - redirect.php
    - LocalSettings.php
    - images/
  - site2/
    - index.php
    - redirect.php
    - LocalSettings.php
    - images/
  - site3/
  ...

redirect.php is a link to ../../redirect.php, but could be just a copy
if you don't allow links in the apache config.

index.php has the following change to pick up the right include files:

--- ../../index.php     2004-12-26 03:04:53.000000000 +0100
+++ index.php   2005-01-12 12:16:12.000000000 +0100

 # it becomes an entry point, thereby defeating its purpose.
 define( "MEDIAWIKI", true );

-require_once( "./includes/Defines.php" );
+require_once( "../../includes/Defines.php" );
 require_once( "./LocalSettings.php" );
 require_once( "includes/Setup.php" );

In LocalSettings $IP is the "wiki-dir" (see above), and you have to
adjust some of the other paths and directory settings to make it
work. 

I just did this install, but it seems to behave fine.
