The person doing the install creates the tables. See doc/INSTALL.mysql, 
for example. Basically, phpwiki comes with the instructions needed to 
create the table structure, but has chosen to not run them in 
automatically. I guess it would make upgrading difficult :-)

If you don't have the doc/INSTALL.* files, perhaps something in your 
original download is broken or missing. I had a quick glance at SF's CVS 
web interface, and didn't see the doc files, so are you perhaps trying 
to install a CVS version? (sorry, I hadn't read much of the preceding 
thread). Take a copy of the 1.3.10 tar file, and look in there.

php5 is "really new". It's a shame that you are constrained to only use 
php5.
