Maybe, if you don't mind copying the list, some hack like this?
(Using Python 2.2... not sure it works in earlier versions.)

>>> class HexRepInt(int):
...   def __repr__(self):
...     return self.__hex__()
...
>>> l = ['spam', 10, 15, 'more spam']
>>> m = [type(x) == type(0) and HexRepInt(x) or x for x in l]
>>> print m
['spam', 0xa, 0xf, 'more spam']
