I use L&R output sockets for keyboard sounds, and 1&2 for vocals.
One of the sockets (nearest XLR) has started cutting out.
Are the sockets replaceable, or will I have to replace the whole board?

if you are good with a de-solder stick and a soldering iron...it's do-able.

I had to replace two on a PA1x once when a punter (drunk) knocked the cables sideways and snapped off in the sockets.

They use industry standard PCB mount stereo sockets.

EDIT: Oh you will need to remove the mainboard (audio) to do the job.

Most probably there is no need for replacement, they just need to get resoldered (dry joint)..
It happens after a while on all machines (not specific korg) especially if there is force applied to the cables by mistake or accident.
