A github wiki is just a git repo with one markdown file per page so depending on what you really have (is it one xml file per page ?) and if we don't care about history this *may* be not too involved (e.g. pandoc knows how to translate mediawiki to markdown).

Having the Mediawiki dump would definitely be useful -- pandoc does wonders here, as Daniel points out.  Putting it in the GitHub wiki may even encourage people to improve the ocamlbuild documentation (!).
