You can buy raw pigments in powdered form - being careful to specify you want to make acrylics out of them, because not all pigments lend themselves to dispersal in an acrylic medium (eg, Alizarin Crimson, Viridian, and quite possibly Cobalt Blue, though I'm not sure about that).
I think you're in for an awful lot of work if you do that, mind, but then the older I get the more resistant I am to anything savouring of effort. There are plenty of very liquid acrylics, and acrylic inks, if you find the complications just too much more than you'd bargained for. Melanie Cambridge, who makes her own oils, may be someone you'd like a word with on this subject - Google her: you might find a kindred spirit.
And the artist Pip Seymour started out in paint manufacture by making his own acrylics - again, might be worth seeking him out.
