Yes, as far as I know wireless N routers are completely backward compatible with older B and G formats. But be sure to check out the requirements on the box just to be sure.
I guess your Wrt54g didn't come with removable antennas? I dunno if you can patch the broken part back together - I doubt that it's worth trying to pay someone to fix it. If you router does have removable antennas you can maybe buy a new one on ebay cheap. Here's one I found with a quick search: http://bit.ly/bJzEh1 It's probably better just to buy a new router - it'll be more stable, with a longer range. And they aren't very expensive if you get them on sale.
