Please help - Black water holding tank damaged

The fitting itself snapped off with a section of the fiberglass black water tank. Is it possible to do a fiberglass repair and add a new fitting to it? I can't remove the tank as it's above the frame ...

That is ABS. Dont use anything except good old ABS cement.
Clean everything well and use the cement. Unless there's some piece missing you dont need to add any material - that will just make the job harder.
Hold in place for 30 seconds after cementing and your done.
It will last forever if done right but if you use some other "glue", it will eventually fail.
