Is there a Google-maps like component (that is not Google Maps) that allows pan/zoom of an image and adding markers onto it? I'd like to show an image instead of a map and it can be javascript or flash-based.
I don't think the OP is looking for maps specifically, just functionality that has the same features as a map (but using an image instead).

...with custom tile overlays.

MapTiler is intended to be used to create maps, but it includes an option that will automatically generate exactly what you're looking for. It cuts an image up into tiles for as many zoom levels as you need. It will create an OpenLayers "map" of your image (because Google Maps uses Mercator projection by default).
If you want to use the Google Maps API instead of OpenLayers, here's a great tutorial and example on how to create a flat projection to override Google's default Mercator projection.
