Yup, but you need one of two things: another root partition - a repair
and recovery disk like Tom's rtbt, or a statically linked toolchain
(one that needs no dynamically linked libraries) - all of /sbin
should be statically linked, but sadly for you doesn't have ln.

A quick google gives

http://www.toms.net/rb/ for Tom's
http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/system/recovery/!INDEX.html
As a list of likely candidates

or
http://lbt.linuxcare.com/
or even gnoppix for linux-on-a-cd, from which you could just mount your
hd and fix the link from there.
