You can use cms_index_index tag in your layout.xml file and insert your block in your homepage like below.

<cms_index_index>
    <reference name="content">
        <block type="mymodule/myblock" name="myblock" template="mytemplate/myphtml.phtml" /> 
    </reference>
</cms_index_index>

Go to app/design/frontend/{your package}/{your theme}/layout/local.xml then add this:

<cms_index_index>
    <reference name="content">
        <block type="core/template" name="my.custom.block" template="path/to/template.phtml" />
    </reference>
</cms_index_index>
