Dokuwiki: too many dependencies!
Moinmoin: simple, but I'd prefer to use PHP since I've got Apache running.
I would also recommend re-thinking dokuwiki. It meets your requirement of not needing a backend database. And it's powered by php.

The dependencies aren't so overwhelming for what you get:
Code:
> cd /usr/ports/www/dokuwiki && make pretty-print-run-depends-list
This port requires package(s) "freetype2-2.3.7 jpeg-6b_7 kbproto-1.0.3 libICE-1.0.4_1,1 libSM-1.1.0_1,1 libX11-1.2,1 
libXau-1.0.4 libXaw-1.0.5_1,1 libXdmcp-1.0.2_1 libXext-1.0.5,1 libXmu-1.0.4,1 libXp-1.0.0,1 libXpm-3.5.7 libXt-1.0.5_1 
libiconv-1.11_1 libpthread-stubs-0.1 libxcb-1.2 libxml2-2.7.3 pcre-7.8 php5-5.2.9 php5-gd-5.2.9 php5-mbstring-5.2.9 
php5-pcre-5.2.9 php5-session-5.2.9 php5-xml-5.2.9 php5-zlib-5.2.9 pkg-config-0.23_1 png-1.2.35 printproto-1.0.4 
python25-2.5.4_1 t1lib-5.1.2_1,1 xcb-proto-1.4 xextproto-7.0.5 xproto-7.0.15" to run.
Our team has been happily running dokuwiki behind Shibboleth. It's feature rich and seems to be easy enough for folks to pick up.
