I noticed that all the tires on my vette, except the rear drivers side, are all the same wear... the rear drivers side tire, however is showing tread wear marks already.
Mounted are Falken FK451's that were on it when I bought it... about 5 months ago.
with the limited slip, should both rears wear the same?

No.. they wont... there are two issues here.. one is alignment and the other is tire pressure.. there is also a possible third issue.. and that is a slightly bent rim... this will cause the tire to erase itself as it goes down the highway... too much air pressure will cause the center of the tire to wear prematurely.
With an independent rear suspension, camber or toe-in can be out of spec, causing different wear patterns. An alignment check would probably be a good investment.

Could be related to alignment, tire pressure, etc. Have it checked for alignment specs and air pressure first and hopefully that will solve your abnormal wear problem.
