The slug wiki (horrendous as it is) is DokuWiki, which amongst its other features, stores all its data in plain text files on disk, which makes it amenable to all the usual tools for dealing with textual content - eg, stick it inside bzr, people can check it out, take a copy with them, and merge changes when they get home.
As the files are plain-text, they should be somewhat readable on a PDA... http://www.dokuwiki.org/dokuwiki for more details. The next nearest thing I know of (aside from ikiwiki, which I hadn't heard of till Rob mentioned it) is TiddlyWiki (http://www.tiddlywiki.com/) - it's a self-hosting wiki-in-a-file where all the code to make the wiki work is in javascript inside the file. It's portable, bzr might work to merge changes (I don't know, haven't tried, don't know enough about its innards). It definitely makes it easy to take a copy with you on a thumb drive or similar, but I don't know how all the JS is going to render on a small screen.
