Where can you get your rabbit neutered when the vet doesn't do rabbits?

Yes, a rabbit-savvy veterinarian can do it. It is recommended to do it as early as possible, as it has lots of benefits : a neutered/spayed rabbit will stop marking it's territory, will have less aggressive behaviors and destructive habits (chewing everything, etc) and it will extend it's lifespan, among other things.
Rabbits will still mark their territory even if they have been neutered. It is something all rabbit do, a wild rabbit trait. They just might not do it by spraying, they will still urinate and defecate to let other rabbits know they are there and they are patroling their area. Neutering a rabbit will not curb it's chewing behavior.

You have to find a "rabbit-savvy" vet for your rabbit: someone with knowledge and experience specific to rabbits, because they're so delicate and different from cats/dogs. In addition to neuter/spay, your rabbit should see a vet regularly for physical check-ups and diagnostic testing (urinalysis, blood, feces).
How to find a rabbit-savvy vet: You could try contacting a local pet store, or SPCA or other animal shelter, and ask for a recommendation. You could also try looking for online listings -- search "rabbit vet mytown" and see if anything comes up (replace "mytown" with the name of your region). You could also look for listings on the House Rabbit Society website, or the World Rabbit Veterinarians website (see links below).
When you find a vet who will agree to see your rabbit, you should screen them to make sure they really know what they're doing. See the related links below for more information about what questions to ask when screening a vet.
