Is there a way to determine the number of users who

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.

Good luck.
