Is there some sort of difference between "如果" and "假如", or are they interchangeable?
I've seen the words 如果 and 假如, both meaning "if". I'm pretty sure I've run across others too, but these seem to be the main two.

从语言逻辑上讲，“假如”多用于假设一种状态，而“如果”多用于假设一种条件，必须与假设的结果连用。在通常情况下，可以通用。

意思一样，都表示假设
但是，"假如" 必须放在句子的开头，假如我....，假如他.....。而在口语中，"如果"可以在主语(subject)的后面

"如果" is more like "if" and "假如" is more like "provided", I guess.
But generally, they're just the same.
Another one - "要是" is more oral and with stronger personal emotions.

如果＝if 假设一种条件
假如＝suppose多用于假设一种状态

they are the same in meaning.You can replace "假如" by "如果",but You cannot replace "假如" by "如果" in some situation.原因楼上已经讲过了："假如" 必须放在句子的开头，假如我....，假如他.....。而"如果"可以在主语(subject)的后面.
