The MacPorts MediaWiki port installs the MediaWiki files and some basic 
dependencies. The configuration is left to the MacPorts user.
If by  "integrate" you are looking for OpenDirectory integration have a look at 
this MediaWiki extension [1]

These are MediaWiki configuration options you will need to do yourself [2].

To use the MacPorts ImageMagick convert command adding this to 
LocalSettings.php should do the trick.
$wgUseImageMagick = true;
$wgImageMagickConvertCommand = "/opt/local/bin/convert";

Note: presumes MacPorts default prefix.

Look at MacPorts Trac Reports [3] for an "Update" ticket and if none exist open 
a new "Update" ticket [4] following the Trac Ticket guide [5].

Not specifically OS X Server but I have installed MediaWiki many times over 
many different OS X versions. I have not used the MediaWiki LDAP extension to 
auth using OS X Servers OpenDirectory but I am about to try. You are welcome to 
email me privately if share our progress.
