You can get surface mount cable raceways that connect to the wall with adhesive. Works well and also looks great.

Another option is called "sticky backs", they're not as nice looking, but they're commonly used by electricians in cabinets to secure wires:

One thing is if you're really concerned about the walls, maybe put a strip of masking tape on the wall before the sticky backs or cable raceway. That way you don't need to worry about the adhesive on them taking the paint off afterwards.
