You mean...like an amp? There are lots of plans on headwize.com for headphone amplifiers. You could probably get away with a cmoy or an A47, but several of the project descriptions mention that they can drive speakers.

This one's pretty small. [/shameless_brag] (thanks again Tangent)

Seriously, you could fit a cmoy amp in an Altoids tin with one or two 9V batteries, depending on your patience and soldering skills. Start here for the cmoy. Again, this amp was meant for headphones; make sure to include plenty of output resistance (50-100 ohms in series with the output).

Check diyaudio.com to see if anyone has a small amp design intended for speakers.
