Gently touch a drop of white glue (Elmer's) to the hole just enough to cling there and let it dry. Use the end of a very small screwdriver or the bare end of a wooden q-tip stick.
There will be enough moisture in the drop of glue to "wet" the paper cone around the hole edge and it will be fine when it dries.
Many guys use a temp piece of cut-down and sized cardboard, twist-tied to the front of an open speaker to prevent this kind of "D'OH!" event.
It has happened to the best of us - you're not alone in the 'How to Kill a Speaker' class.
