Certainly in the past (distant past!) you were free to build your own 27MHz radio control transmitters - but that was back when you had to pay a yearly licence to use them. In any case, using the radio control band isn't an option, as you're not allowed to use it for other than radio controlled models.
Licence free modules are available, mostly on UHF - but part of been 'licence free' means they have to have passed type approval, which isn't an option for a home made device (unless you are far richer than most here).

If so, do you think it would be possible to reappropriate an existing piece of equipment, such as a walkie-talkie type radio, to circumvent that restriction?

Again you can't use a walkie talkie for data transfer, it's not covered by the licence, or licence free, conditions.
What EXACTLY are you trying to do, and over what terrain?.
