There is no possible reason for a 404 page to need a custom URL since
it is *never* accessed via it's own URL (what would be the point?)

You can use a TYPO3 page as a 404 page (including correct 404 header) like this:

* Create a page and note its id
* In the install tool or in localconf.php directly, set
[pageNotFound_handling_statheader] to HTTP/1.0 404 Not Found (this is
the default I think)
* In the install tool or in localconf.php, set [pageNotFound_handling]
to /index.php?id=123 (replace '123' with the id of your page of
course...)

Note that there are several other configuration options for
[pageNotFound_handling] that you can read about in the install tool.
