Yes, LeWhite, tenons are repairable. As already explained, there are many ways to do the job; all of them 'correct'. However, Gordon's re-enforcement pin method is by far best way to do it, in my opinion.
Retro-fit, after-market application... whatever you choose to call it, putting tenon caps on pre-owned (old) clarinets, which had none originally, is an unusual procedure in my hometown. The normal, cost effective repair is to glue the pieces back in place, as close as you can, and then blend the seams to match the surrounding area, a nearly un-noticeable repair. Blending and scraping is usually done by hand because not many tenons are truly round, especially timber (wood). If the pieces are lost, grafting a new tenon or socket is reasonably quick and painless as well as cost efficient. When caps must be replaced, some techs I know start them on the lathe (by spinning/burnishing) and finish by hand, as Gordon does.
Wood is usually repaired with wood dust and super-glue, no cap, then turned to as near original as possible.
In my opinion, caps are more for looks than added strength. Although, I suppose, they may protect somewhat against chipping... if you handle your instrument with reasonable care anyway.
