I would not recommend it. The pin pitch of the LM3875 doesn't really match veroboard. Also, the tracks are not really thick enough to carry current for an amplifier.
If you can't etch PCB's you can cut tracks into a piece of board using a good knife and some planning on graph paper.

I saw this GC bulit on prototype board.... Seems lik a a good alternative for me.

yes you can
this is a lm3886 but 3875 should be easier even

You cut off all the NC pins and bend the pins until they go into the holes.
just work carefully with a small pair of long nose pliers. Breaking off the NC pins makes things a lot simpler.
good luck

Mark has built a few on a veroboard:

Just to add:
I've built amps with the 3886 and 4766, both with much higher pin density than the 3875, without any board at all, just purely P2P. Also, I use SMD X7R caps directly on the 3886 pins for bypass (extremely difficult to do well as a slight pull from a power wire breaks these ceramics in two), so what you're looking at is surely possible as the 3875 is a lot simpler.
I'm so used to it now I can practically replicate a layout each time, but I choose to look at reducing the size of the build every time. The last one I did used 1/2 watt Holcos instead of the 1/8 watt films I normally use, so it was a little more challenging, but it runed out decently in the end.
