Ah, the standard recipe doesn't cover that.
Try prefixing all calls to pmwiki.php with wiki/ .
You may have to remove the RewriteBase setting.

If you can reconfigure Apache, switch on rewrite logging. It will tell 
you what rewrite rules get triggered and what they do (and if you bump 
up the logging level to 2, you'll also see the effects of RewriteBase).
You'll probably need root access to reconfigure Apache though.
