pelf's solution will work, of course.
However, i have a slightly different recommendation.
SexyMap is an addon that not only makes your Minimap look sexy, it also has a function to hide minimap buttons.
You can, for each addon-button and standard blizz-UI-button (or globally, if you wish) set, whether the button should a) always be shown, b) never be shown or c) the greatest of all options, fade out the button normally, but let it appear when you hover over the minimap.
For instance, i have the New-Mail button always shown (of course it only shows when there actually is new mail), same for the WowInstantMessenger button. Some buttons i never use (like world map) i have set to never show, and every other button for addons, BG, calendar, etc. is set to only show when i hover over the minimap with the mouse.
Me likes it!

I use both MiniMapButtonFrame and Sexy Map. Has been working good for the last few years
