There isn't much hope for it unless you know someone who is really good with a soldering iron. It might be possible to solder the pin back on and very delicately reconnect the cable connection long enough to salvage anything off the HD that you want.
Other than that.... drill about 6 holes completely through the hard drive to make it inoperable and your data unretrieveable.
A new 160G HD is only about $50 or so.
