You can also use an add-on to "restrict" pages. I use this at UNC, as  
most of our wiki is internal to the lab, but some parts of it should  
be publicly visible, so lab-exclusives are restricted. It does add  
extra work, though, since users need to be manually added to the  
"restrict" group.

I'd say, though, that C's suggestion of just using .htaccess would  
probably be the best, but its not the only way.
