is it possible to build a frequency to voltage converting that runs off
of 2 AA batteries.

What frequency range and output voltage range?

What current? I am sure you can find chips to do it. The cheapest way
I can think of is to use a $2 micro to switch/pump/charge a large
capacitor, based on the input (frequency) and output (voltage). You
can think of the micro as a feedback controller.

Or fire a one-shot, HC123 maybe, and lowpass filter its output.
