Is there a way to determine the number of users who have selected a particular skin preference?
Yes, you can get that by doing an database query, but the complexity depends on which version of MediaWiki you're running.
MediaWiki 1.16: easy Select and count the property you want (probably called skin, but please check) from the user_properties table http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:User_properties_table
Pre 1.16: harder Select all user_options fields from the user table and grep them for the skin value. http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:User_table#user_options
Good luck.
