No, and it isn't primarily due to the shape of the neck or body cavity (although those are considerations). It is due to scale length.
Scale length is the distance between the nut and the bridge saddles, and can accurately be measured by multiplying the distance from the nut to the 12th fret x 2.
Now, that being said, if both necks in question are EXACTLY the same distance between the nut and 12th fret then it is possible. Going further, once the neck is swapped (provided the shapes and pockets are suitable) you need to be sure that the distance from nut to saddle is just a little MORE than twice the distance of nut to 12th fret.
If this stuff doesn't match up your guitar will not play in tune with itself... should you experiment and notice that you can't seem to get the guitar to sound right you'll know what I mean.
Good luck!

Frankenaxe! Cool. I have no idea. You should call a luthier. I would wonder about alignment, changes in string length making it impossible to tune all the way up the neck, will the fret surface end up too high or low, etc.

no. you can't. The butt of each neck is differently shaped, as is the cavity inside the body. try it, and either have to shim the hell out of it or use it as a peice of wall-art.
