I thought that also, since these are two different phone (GSM /cmda) it might have different radio frequency?

Verizon and Sprint both use CDMA and LTE. Neither use GSM or HSPA+. They'll be the "same" hardware. The only differences we see now is that they're operating on different frequencies.

Sprint HTC Evo 4G
Motorola Xoom WiFi
T-Mobile HTC G2
Quit signing contracts, stop overpaying for service, GO PREPAID!

The difference between the two will be the hardware lte modem and the baseband software. These are independent of the rom.

I'd imagine there would be a slight amount of tweaking involved still. For example, the ROM includes the build.prop which makes reference to the specific carrier. But whatever the differences are maybe a flashable zip could be easily created to convert ROMs made for the VZW Gnex to the S'G'Nex.

As long as you flash a 4.0.4 rom it'll be fine the AOSP code already has sprint nexus references so it'll run fine. The CDMA development section will encompass Verizon and Sprint nexus

Well then they need to pull the prop blobs from a stock rom first then replace.

Yes but LTE doesn't roam.
Yet. They don't roam yet. It wouldn't shock me to see Sprint work some kind of agreement with Verizon to get LTE roaming.
