Assuming you could make a reasonable stab at what had happened, presumably going straight into auto and maintaining a reasonable forward speed would mitigate the lack of yaw control?

I guess you'd then execute a fastish run-on landing.

Alternately, you could keep the engines going (keeping power down as much as possible), while maintaining forward speed, relying on the vertical stabiliser to keep you more or less straight. Still leaves the problem of landing, though.
