Well, you will need some database. If they won't let you run or access 
one as a daemon, you will need something that is file based. The two 
that come to mind are BerkeleyDB and SQLite. You must seek a wiki engine 
that can be configured to use one of those as a database backend. Have 
you thought about changing web hosts? Hosting is cheap, and if you shop 
around, you can get something with ssh, cron jobs, mysql (no webrick, 
though) for about $10 per month. Possibly less.

Good luck,
Dan
