throttle body repair

Help! My 94 F150 developed a leak in the 3/8 hose that goes to the throttle body, and when I tried to remove the hose to replace it, the little tube it attaches to broke off where it goes into the throttle body. Is there a repair for this other than replacing the throttle body? If I have to replace the throttle body, what are my options?
Thanks in advance
Ray

I'd either bypass it altogether or try to drill and tap the hole in the throttle body for a 90° adapter from pipe thread to hose barb.

Thanks Eric...drilling and tapping is a good idea, I didn't think of that. For the time being, I have bypassed it but after reading lots of posts here I am concerned about icing up in cold weather. I'm in northern Va, it gets sort of cold. Not too cold, and the truck isn't a daily driver, but still a concern.
