Hi David,
Take a look at
http://cocoondev.org/daisy/Extremely powerful CMS with distinct Content Repository and Wiki Frontend.
The beauty of this thing is that it has powerful API's (Java, Javascript
and HTTP) which can be used to import content directly into the repo. If
the current documentation is in plain XML (or exportable as such), you
could be up and running in no time, with pretty much zero manual
intervention in terms of importing the documentation into a shareable,
wiki-type CMS.
Things to look at in daisy specifically:
1) Manuals creation and management -
http://cocoondev.org/daisy/future/121.html2) Repository server design -
http://cocoondev.org/daisydocs-1_4/repository/general/17.html3) Javascript API -
http://cocoondev.org/daisydocs-1_4/repository/interfaces/153.html4) Java API -
http://cocoondev.org/daisydocs-1_4/repository/interfaces/28.html5) HTTP API -
http://cocoondev.org/daisydocs-1_4/repository/interfaces/21.htmlI've been using Daisy for the past couple of months now and its
capabilities as a CMS/content repository are just plain stunning. (I'd
call it the Ofbiz of the CMS world in that respect :))

Daisy supports PDF export, coding up ODF export/import shouldn't be all
that hard I'd imagine. Comment support and document ACL are also
currently available features.
> The trick here is that there is a LOT of content to move over from the Undersun content server. I'd like to see this all moved over soon, but it will take quite a few man-hours to do so. In other words, as usual I'm asking for help with this part of the effort! I'll setup accounts without much question for anyone that has contributed to OFBiz enough to be known and trusted. For anyone else, if you have documentation experience and sufficient knowledge of OFBiz we'd love your help!

If you're not dead-set on the Confluence idea, give Daisy a look-see,
you might find that importing the data into a world-accessible repo with
all the functionality you desire could easily be done with just a day of
coding.
Cheerio,
Rafiu.
