So if I ask for a "4mb PLCC32 LPC Flash-ROM" I should get what I'm after?
Yes, that should work. Make sure that what you get is a 4 Mbit chip, not a 4 MByte chip. As an alternative, you could look in a scrapyard for broken boards which have compatible LPC chips in a socket. As a rough guideline, probably all AMD64 capable boards should have compatible chips (except for the most recent boards which have 8-pin SPI chips).
[...] hot flash it with the correct bios. I'm using my friends PC to do this and it has a Foxconn P4M8907MA-KRS2H motherboard.
I'm only 90% sure about this. It has a VIA chipset as well, but to be sure it would be nice if you could run flashrom on that board and tell us which chip it detects.
