You could probably do it fairly easily.  You could make something
shaped like a C out of PVC tubing or metal or whatever.  The bottom of 
the C would go underneath the couch, and the laptop would live on the
top (the top of the C would need to be angled up).  Hook an external
keyboard and mouse up to the laptop, and you'd be all set.

Of course, you couldn't easily do multiple heads that way, which would 
be a big minus.
