The Windows Phone Toolkit contains an example of a custom message box, which already allows some more (although still limited, imo) freedom. If that one doesn't fullfil your requirements, you can just peek at the source to get an idea as how to go about rolling your own message box.

If memory serves, it uses a Popup internally, to display a modal screen.
