you don't need to install DokuWiki differently. All you have to do is use
mod_rewrite and the userewrite [1] configuration option. DokuWiki comes with a
.htaccess.dist file that contains all the necessary rules to make that work.
See also the rewrite page [2]. The only thing left up to you is to organize
your wiki using the desired namespaces [3], eg :blog :pictures etc.

HTH,
