Yes, Plastic fuel lines can be repaired. They require a barbed fitting to be heated and forced into the plastic. The plastic tubing will shrink around the barbs when it cools. Vortech makes you alter your stock fuel system when installing their supercharger kits, and their solution is take a brass barbed fitting and put it in the oven at 400 degrees for 15 minutes, then taking the fitting (holding it with pliers) and sliding it into the plastic line. Ford has a kit that just presses the fittings in while cold. They offer plastic fuel line repair kits at a local auto parts store which usually consists of such parts. The rumors of stuffing metal line and hose clamping it is just a band-aid over a bullet wound approach and is definitely not considered a suitable repair, contrary to popular belief. Remember most fuel injected cars run up to 70 psi feed pressure through the feed lines, and in most cases fuel pressure is regulated at the fuel rails and excess fuel is returned to the tank through the different line, effectively droping fuel pressure at the injectors, not the feed line.
