Following Nick’s tutorial here:

http://designsbynickthegeek.com/tutorials/add-widgeted-sidebar

or Brian’s tutorial here:

You can add a number of widgeted areas to your home.php file, and then fill the widgeted areas with a slider, featured posts/pages widgets etc.

you’ll need to add the widgets to the home page by creating a function and using the conditional is_home().

more info can be found here: Greg Rickaby Code Snippets. search that page for Create a custom homepage using home.php and you can also follow the link that’s right there where he goes more in depth in creating the custom page.
