Use a short section of plastic/rubber tubing that will fit snugly over the end of the brake line, 3/16" id is about right. Fold over one end and secure with a piece of wire. When you undo the brake line, slip the open end of the tubing over the brake line to keep the brake fluid from leaking out. Not perfect, and you'll leak a bit of fluid, but it is cheap and quick and there's no risk of damaging the rubber section of brake line.
A better alternative may be to just let the brake fluid bleed out into a container through a piece of hose. You're going to replace all the fluid in the end anyway, right? There's no sense in putting old gunky fluid into your nice new calipers. You've got to bleed them anyway.
