As a testing hack I've set up control buttons on one of our test wikis to change
the CSS 'direction' and 'unicode-bidi' values at edit time.
Here's a copy of the Hebrew Wikipedia main page source; since the test wiki is
LTR it shows LTR by default, but you can switch the edit box around with the
buttons:

(Briefly tested in Firefox 1.5.0.2 and Safari 2.0.3.)
It's pretty ugly, but being able to switch in the unidirectional mode at will
might be helpful.
