Use an old cable to form a loop, which you will insert into the hole from the outside. Use that loop to catch the cable you are running through the tube and pull it through the hole.

Two ideas:
Grab a rare-earth magnet, hold over the hole (pad the frame with a piece of paper or cloth so you don't crack the finish if it's a ferrous frame), and the end of the cable should find its way right out.

2008/3/6 :
What kind of bike is it? On my Cervelo there is a cable stop that pops out giving you a slightly larger opening to fish it out of. If the opening is large enough, you can push a loop of wire in, feed the cable through it and pull it out (the needle threader method). On another frame I was able to remove the seatpost, and use my finger in the top tube to guide the cable through the hole.
Good luck!
