Here is one way you can do it:

• configure the like widget as you want it at http://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/plugins/like-box/
• include the js SDK as per http://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/javascript/
• add css similar to my example at http://jsfiddle.net/ecmanaut/paVeG/

All modern browsers will happily rotate it to sit on its side, if you want it to look that way (if not, remove the transform stuff). I don't think Facebook lets you make it look exactly however you want it to, if that's an important aspect, but there are other questions dealing with overriding that anyway, if important. (People are probably more prone to use this thing if they recognize its looks and functionality from all over the web anyway.)
