Depends on the type of break. Pics would help quite a bit.

Your best bet is to probably send a pm to Hyoujinsama and ask him for advice. I have repolished euro blades by using various grits of sandpaper working my way from the coarsest (150 grit) to finest (fine steel wool 000 grit). But I haven't tried on a Katana yet. I have the one where I bent the point and filed down that I will be working on soon though.
As far as getting the hamon back, you may have to do an acid etch. But Hyoujinsama should be able to help point you in the right direction.
Good luck and let us know how it goes!

Look up a hybrid polish, that should help bring out the hamon otherwise using acid etching is your best bet.
