What version of MongoDB was TokuDB forked from? Could I use this as a drop in replacement for a 2.4 deployment, or mix a replica set with 2.4 and Toku?

TokuMX was forked from 2.2.4, but we have and will continue to add features from 2.4. For instance, hash based sharding is in TokuMX.

One cannot mix a replica set with TokuMX and MongoDB.

Could I start a TokuMX replica to get the data across then shut off the master and switch to using it?

We have a very large install and migrating the data on production systems would be very difficult otherwise.

Unfortunately not, the replication format is completely different. A tool to do this would not be difficult to write, though.
