If you can do one, you can do the other. Like learning C and then switching to Pascal later. Many of the concepts are similar. You will have a learning curve for both but the steepest curve will be for the first language. The second (and later maybe System-C) will come easier. One thing (mostly based on personal experience so I'm expecting to be shot at for this) about Verilog vs. VHDL, it is VERY easy to write code in VHDL that will not synthesize. Verilog code seems a bit closer to the hardware while VHDL can be much more abstract, so much so that you can produce designs that cannot be directly realized in hardware.
