I don't know the answer to the question (I suspect that building the
BSgenome should work, though, once you have all of the appropriate
files).

Section 3.5 of the BSgenomeForge.pdf give you an example that you can
step through to build your own BSgenome. Have you tried getting this
to work on your machine first?

I think it'd be easier to build your custom genome if you first try to
build a "vanilla" one -- this way you will be confident that your
machine can at least do it ... I suspect this will then make you more
productive when building your custom one.

HTH,
