Hi, As Vincent indicated I started working on a standard MediaWiki importer. It's still young but seems to work very well already.
See a quick documentation on how to use it on http://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/MediaWiki/MediaWiki+XML/#HImportaMediaWikiexportinanXWikiinstance. If you encounter bugs please report them on http://jira.xwiki.org/browse/MEDIAWIKI.
