Here's another recent article on building your own GSM base station:

The open GSM future arrives
Hands on with the sysmoBTS
http://www.h-online.com/open/features/The-open-GSM-future-arrives-1723580.html

  ...in this article we take a look at the sysmoBTS, a small form-factor
  GSM Base Transceiver Station (BTS) built around these principles and
  the steps required to configure it to provide a standalone mobile
  telephone network that is useful for research, development and testing
  purposes.

A Faraday cage might be good if you are paranoid of the FCC, but
otherwise keep your power levels low, and you'll be fine.
