I wish to take over a wiki so I am setting it up on my machine however
it will use the DNS hosted by someone else so they will setup a CNAME
record pointing "wiki.foo.org" to my machine's ip. I have no control
over foo.org.
So how exactly should I set up the name based vhost in apache or
should I use ip based vhost and how would that look? My site hosted on
the VPS is www.jesujuva.org but I don't want that to appear in the
users' browsers, if they enter http://wiki.foo.org it should take them
to the wiki hostesd on my machine.
I was going to us something like this for name-based vhost:

Whether to use IP-based or name-based virtual hosts doesn't matter in
your case. If you have a spare IP address, you can use the former, but
you can always use the latter.

That looks fine. Just don't forget to set something like
'NameVirtualHost *:80". And your ServerAlias is redundant.
