Yes it can be done at home but from the Haynes manual it looks like you'll need to fabricate a camshaft holding tool and two upper cover pull down tools. You'll also need The Volvo sealing compound and a roller brush which are available at a dealership.

I'd strongly recommend buying at least the Haynes manual for general information, looking at the Bay 13 procedures for particulars and doing it SOON!

A broken belt means $$$$ as these are interference engines.
