Hi Michael, That's always possible. As I said the state of the Borg Collective was left in question at the end of Final Gambit. There is a similar question left open at the end of Nemesis as we don't really know what the political situation of the Romulan Empire was following that movie either.
However, my point was that Starfleet, armed with the new antiborg weapons, would stand a greater chance of success than the battle of Wolf 359 or the second Borg invasion in First Contact. They still might be a serious threat given their ability to adapt and assimalate new technologies, but it would have to be an invasion of superior strength rather than sending scout ships and patrols into Federation space as they did in TNG. One saving grace the Borg has is that there appears to be multiple queens and hives that makes each branch of the collective somewhat atonymous from the others. We've already seen one Borg queen die in First Contact and Janeway took out another in Final Gambit. As a result even if you kill an entire hive plus their queen it doesn't necessarily mean that the entire Borg Collective is effected. Only that hive is destroyed. All this means is if I or anyone else wanted to explore the events post-Voyager there is a lot of questions unanswered by the official Star Trek cannon. Sure, I could write my own history, speculate as to what happened, but it wouldn't be official cannon. For Star Trek purests that might be a turn off, but for those who just want to have fun with it the fact I wouldn't be sticking to cannon might be interesting. Cheers!
