If you know how to generate random data that represents your null hypothesis (chance, auc=0.5) and how to do your analysis, then you can do this by simulation, simulate a dataset at a given sample size, analyze it, repeat a bunch of times and see if that sample size is about the right size. If not, do it again with a different sample size until you find one that works for you.
