I read an article about googlebombing and the solution they proposed was to add a tag to all hyperlinks.
If you use a wiki that implements this technique then the spammers might be less inclined to use your site. Althougth this does not completely solve the problem as tthe content still shows up on your site.
this is an excerpt from wikipedia:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google_bomb
On 18 January 2005 the Google blog (http://www.google.com/googleblog/) entry "Preventing comment spam" declared that Google will henceforth respect a rel="nofollow" attribute on hyperlinks. Their page ranking algorithm now avoids links with this attribute when ranking the destination page. The intended result is that site administrators can modify user-posted links such that the attribute is present, and thus an attempt to googlebomb by posting a link on such a site would yield no increase from that link
