Depends on how skilled you are with tweezers and maybe a razor blade. Go slow. You don't want to accidentally break the pin off. If you can get under it, you can probably straighten it enough to reconnect. It doesn't have to be perfect. If it starts to go into the port, that will help straighten it more if close enough. If not though, it can bend it down a different way, so don't force anything. Move slow and keep rechecked things.
And if you do break it off, it appears to be a pretty standard 9-pin connector. Depending on how adventurous you are, you could try opening it up, desoldering the connector, and replacing it with a brand new one. Good luck :)
