In the experience I mentioned, the wiki didn't have a lot of content before 
switching to FCK - about 11 pages IIRC.

If you have an active community, they will likely clean it up. The pages are 
still readable in FCK, but the formatting is messed up. I did not write a 
conversion utility, however. For a wiki of, say, 25 or more pages, a 
conversion/clean up would probably be indicated. I've wrote a conversion 
from HTML help to wikitext that worked very well, converting thousands of 
pages into wikitext with very little cleanup needed, so it's definitely 
possible.
