Create a custom template.  It only needs <?php tpl_content(); ?>
For CSS purposes you may need to wrap the content in elements that  
match the expected DW structure, so
<div class="dokuwiki">
<?php tpl_content(); ?>
</div>

DW dynamically generates its CSS.  You would probably want to generate  
the CSS on the wiki machine and copy it to the wordpress machine or  
use some form of alias/redirect/link to hide the DW css url from the  
user.
In your wordpress template, include('path/to/dokuwiki/doku.php');
If wordpress has left DW's system globals ($_GET, $_POST, $_REQUEST,  
$_COOKIE) untouched you should be ok.  You may need to close the  
wordpress session to allow DW to reopen the session without an error.   
If necessary you can reopen the wordpress session after DW has done  
its stuff.
You will have to resolve any naming clashes.

Another option (which avoids the possibility of naming clashes) is to  
use a cut down template similar to that described above and use a  
remote file open to access the page.  The remote file open will allow  
the webserver and php to generate the page as normal.  With this  
method you will need to recreate the query string for DW.
e.g.  readfile('http://www.wikisite.com/path/to/doku.php'.$reconstructed_query_string) 
;
(or if allow_url_fopen is not permitted or not desired, the same thing  
can be achieved using the curl functions).
You could get more sophisticated and have your template provide other  
information (metadata, author, date) in a structure that will allow  
you to extract the different information using preg_match() and then  
place that information into the wordpress page at the appropriate  
places.
