Can you swap one for the other?

Only partly. Most of pine's flavor molecules (239 of 284) are also found in peach, but peach has 132 that pine lacks. Pine gives you part of peach's character without most of its fruit. This compares flavor only; texture, moisture and the job each does in a dish matter too.
