Is there any way to pre-order a bb10 phone from an out of country carrier and have it work on Verizon when the phone comes out? Or do I have to wait for Big Red to have it for me?

Gotta wait, you'll not get any other carriers' phone on Verizon, as they will not activate a non-Verizon phone and most devices around the world are GSM, with Verizon being CDMA technology. Incompatible, sorry.
For it to work on Verizon, it would need to have the proper bands. I'm guessing Verizon will be carrying a LTE variant, so you'd want the phone to have the corresponding band(s). I'm not sure what VZN's "fall back" network is--3G or 2G. You'd want those bands too.
What about at&t?
Nope. AT&T's LTE devices won't work on VZN's wireless network, and their fall back networks are different too (GSM vs. CDMA.)
