Hi Moriartii,
Absolutely you can do an alignment at home! Here are some excellent low budget alignment methods put together in this PDF, using basic tools:

Also, measuring toe is very simple using your jackstands (assuming you own some) and any cheap fishing line you can get your hands on. You would have to make sure you offset your reference line accordingly to accomodate the front and rear track differences (at the hubs, for any car that is). This is to maintain your reference measurement being parallel relative to vehicle centerline.
Anyway, take a look and if you are interested and have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us! We are here to help.
