Or maybe a silicon junction diode and a shottky diode. May get you a little closer. Depends on the exact diodes and how much current you're drawing. You could also stick in a npn transistor set up as a vbe multiplier and pick the resistor values to give you the right thing.
Or just go grab an LM317. ;) Even Radio Shack will probably still have those. Don't know where Marc is based though.
