Similar packages exists for most systems.

If you lose your USB key, the wiki contents are available to anyone finding it. Think twice before putting any sensitive information on it, or at least consider encrypting the drive with an encryption program. This will most likely require you to mount the encrypted drive and providing your credentials before being able to run the server programs.

Okay, maybe this is old-hat to some, but I just came across a WAMP (windows-apache-mysql-php) server that is darned TINY... so tiny it will easily fit on a thumbdrive. In fact, it'll fit into less than 4 MB they say (at one place)... although my implementation was 17 MB.
Anyhow, it installed flawlessly AND, I might add, amazingly simply. (basically, run the exe) It comes with a "configuration" screen that includes an admin pgm for mysql and the simplest of instructions. It has PHP5, altho' I regressed to PHP4 (which they also provide an install file & very straightforward instructions for).
Okay, the news for wikka fans, Wikka 1.1.6.0 installed **//simply and flawlessly//**. I used the mysql manager to setup a database and a user account, provided that info for the wikka config file, removed .htaccess in wikka root (I didn't spend time figuring out why that was necessary to get it to run), and wikka worked like an absolute charm. Anyways, check out [[http://www.uniformserver.com/ | The Uniform Server]]....having wikka run on any windows system you want it to using server on a THUMBDRIVE is as amusing as heck. Have fun folks!!!
