If you flashed a Verizon PRL to your phone it might work, but that's risky.

something like this is probably done on the tower side and not client side. It's probably likely that when a non Verizon ESN is on the tower, they only allow for a 1x connection and refuse EVDO connections.

Does anyone know if it is on the tower side, or a hack to my phone like changing the PRL could make it happen?

I hate to burst your bubble but i'm not going to go scour the web for your personal feelings on something we already know to be true for oh so long now. I don't know if it is contract or not but verizon does not allow evdo roaming (this has been known forever now.) Alltell on the other hand does or did (i'm not to sure with their latest mergers and prl updates) allow evdo roaming which is fortunate for some people.

VZW's AAA server will recognize you as a Sprint customer and only allow data connections to the network via 1X. There's nothing you can do on the handset end.
