I've seen that there are emulator images available for Android which can run on x86 virtual machines. I'd like to build my own x86 Android image from source, but I can't seem to find instructions online. Is it currently possible to build a custom x86 "ROM"? (not sure "ROM" is appropriate term for x86 systems, whatever)

Yes it's possible, but you still need a Linux machine to compile it (without going into a lot of troubles).
There are a lot of information on porting android to X86 platform in the net. I suggest you to start with this one: Android-x86 - Porting Android to x86 .
You can also have look at XDA forun
. They do a lot of work on porting ROM's.
Regards.
