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).

The problem with replacing the oem drivers is that some drivers are tied to specific versions of apps (SIP and Camera for example). It's a bigger task than you may think. If your not an experienced chef, you might just as well forget it.
