You can use fragments to set inner HTML:
<?php
$dom = new DOMImplementation();
$document = $dom->createDocument(null, 'html', $dom->createDocumentType('html'));

$div = $document->appendChild($document->createElement('div', '<small>test</small> me'));
echo $document->saveHTML($div); 
// <div>&lt;small&gt;test&lt;/small&gt; me</div>

$div = $document->appendChild($document->createElement('div'));
$div->nodeValue = '<small>test</small> me';
echo $document->saveHTML($div); 
// <div>&lt;small&gt;test&lt;/small&gt; me</div>

$div = $document->appendChild($document->createElement('div'));
$divInner = $document->createDocumentFragment();
$divInner->appendXML('<small>test</small> me');
$div->appendChild($divInner);
echo $document->saveHTML($div);
// <div><small>test</small> me</div>

?>
