In general, yes. For your specific use case, it might be best to use
MediaWiki's XML dump and restore. You could also use the conversion
script that comes with MediaWiki, at:

maintenance/postgres/mediawiki_mysql2postgres.pl

It's a little old so I can't promise it will work with recent versions
of MediaWiki, but should be enough to get you started testing.
