I've done it before on my James Bond set. The last film (Die Another Day) had a completely different spine than the other 19 - it was a late addition to the set just before they shipped. So, I just scanned one of the others and added a picture of Brosnan in the appropriate spot to match the other covers (all the spines have a small picture of whoever played 007 in that particular film), then cut-and-pasted the title in from a second scan so that it lined up with the others. Printed it to scale and it's indistinguishable as a one-of-a-kind.
My Star Wars DVD has a custom cover sleeve also. With desktop publishing software what it is these days, anything is possible. I use Photoshop professionally so my only limits are being able to find certain artwork on the internet. Took me a while to find a scan of the poster I used on the back of my cover.
