My Radiator's Trying to Kill Me

Okay, well maybe not kill me, but it sure doesn't want me to make it home. I was about to head back home to Michigan from Mass in my (usually) trusty 89 240, when I noticed my expansion tank was empty, and a leak at the upper radiator hose where it connects to the radiator. I had a new hose, so I decided to put it on. That's when I noticed the source of my problem- the threaded part of the radiator that the hose connects to had broken off in the old hose- the source of my leak. And now there isn't really enough space for the clamp to grip on. I was hoping someone out there in Volvoland would know how to jerry-rig something that would help appease my evil, evil radiator.
Thanks alot for any help!
