It is unlikely that there will be an announcement about the iPhone
coming to Verizon at the Apple Developers Conference next week. But
there is some evidence that Apple will begin production on a CDMA
phone this fall - some speculate that Verizon will get this phone in
time for the holidays, while others are saying 2011.
There is another aspect of this story that may be far more
interesting. China Telecom is the world's largest operator of CDMA
type networks (I think they have a bit of their own special sauce
integrated). My educated guess is that Apple is trying to get China
Telecom on board; Verizon may come along for the ride...
