How different is the look of your corporate pages from themes included with
phpwiki? It might be the case that all you'll need to do is modify the
style sheet for one of the existing themes. If you need to do more than adjust
colors, borders, and sizes, then you'll have to edit some of the templates.

Probably the easiest way to start is to make yourself a copy of the default
theme, and start tinkering with that. Remember to set the theme name in 
yourtheme/themeinfo.php. Anything which is needed but isn't present in a theme 
will be taken from the default theme, so once you have what you want you
can just include in your theme the files you've changed.
