You'll have to flash it everytime you change ROMs.
I thought they stayed, but I found out they didn't. I got reverted back to the "EK" radios when I flashed AOKP. Was wondering why my signal was a bit weak

Huh?...ROMs don't overwrite radios...They don't include them because its an easy way to brick.

A ROM should only include the necessary system files, a kernel, and possibly whatever else they want to add. I am not sure what you did, or downloaded, but ROMs shouldn't change your basebands or bootloaders. Since they are installable via update.zip , yes it is possible for a ROM to have all of that in one package (recovery would be changeable too). Also, yes it has been done, DT did it with 4.0.4 I believe. But he stopped after folks complained, as a bad download/flash can leave you with at least a temporary brick.
tl;dr No, your radios should stay with ROM flashes.
Edit: I typed that very slow apparently, as I got beated.

You were far more thorough. I was lazy.

Yeah unless you flashed back to stock, or manually installed older radios, a custom ROM should not have anything to do with radios. Also, the EK radios, are 4.0.1 > 4.0.3 (depending on specific radios). I can't imagine why a ROM would force those on it's users at this point anyhow.
Hmm I did have to go back to stock awhile back, soft bricked it :doh:
Thought I had updated the radios back to 4.0.4 at least. My mistake lol

That could possibly explain that mystery then.
I just read this over at Phandroid.com that JB was leaked online. Here's the article that includes the link:
JRO03O Jelly Bean update for Verizon’s Galaxy Nexus available for download
And here's another article for those who have rooted their Nexi:
Rooted, flashable JRO03O Jelly Bean build for Verizon Galaxy Nexus now available
If you've already heard then you're probably already running it. If not then hurry on over! Just be aware it's not the final build, but the official OTA shouldn't be far off if this is in the wild.
