I recently did something similar to generate this site:

http://imaging.mrc-cbu.cam.ac.uk/imaging

Do do this I wrote some conversion code using the moin html conversion
code as a basis.  It involved some hacking to get the full site
converted in a sensible way - the basic code I used is here:

http://imaging.mrc-cbu.cam.ac.uk/svn/html2moin/html2moin/trunk/

It has features like converting page to page links to use the new Wiki
Page names.

I haven't documented it very much, but if you think something like
that would help you I am happy to advise, and will try and clean up
the code to make it clearer how to use it,

Best,

Matthew
