What are the odds the Haswell Xeons will use the same socket as the current Xeons?


Zero since Haswell-EP uses DDR4.


That being said, I wonder what the chances are that Apple will use the same socket for the Haswell-EP CPU daughterboard. Is there anything obvious that'd prevent them from doing that (e.g, chipset compatibility)?


Yes, I would expect the system design to stay as similar as possible for the next five years or so.
