A Valve NDA never stopped leaks in the past. Many times, during beta testing under NDA, info has been posted on news sites. It's not hard to trace the leaks, but I haven't seen much change as the same people remain part of the testing groups.
As always, the problem is with the execution and enforcement. But, then again, Valve doesn't want any negative press either.
Anyway, nothing you can do except wait to see what happens. IMO, having an SDK without the ability to test it, is pretty much worthless as you would be blind coding. On the other hand, mappers and modelers could get the new Hammer for HL2 months ahead of schedule to start working on what they need to get done. They could work just fine without having to test their designs immediately.
