Sys? No. XIP? Yes. The OEM Folders would probably have to be replaced too (OEMDrivers, OEMMISC, OEMVersion, etc). I'm running a 20764 Sys I extracted from a GSM rom.
There's a 'movement' in XDA for "Open" ROMs versus creating "Protected" ROMs. There are a few ROMs that are part of this 'movement'. I'm sure it would be pretty straightforward to create a tool to automate extracting the contents of a GSM ROM and re-building for use on a CDMA device. The XIP isn't that big of an issue, the bigger issue would be creating exceptions around stuff like programs that some networks won't support (ArcSoft MMS on Sprint for example).
