Well, getting enough working to contact print some litho film from some sort of master, perhaps a laser printer output, shouldn't be a huge deal. You need a vacuum frame, or even a piece of glass with a chunk of foam rubber to apply even pressure to hold the film against the master. Room light for a few seconds can be your exposure source. You need litho developer, you can generally skip the stop bath, and you need fixer. Wash in running water, hang to dry.
Metal/porcelain trays should be easy to clean and use, plastic trays may get brittle after a while. So, the biggest problem might be getting the film and chemicals in small quantities. I'm now getting chemistry from Xpedex, and buying recently expired Kodak PRD film off eBay.
