I would try JB Weld or epoxy, though I don't know how well they'll work on that plastic. Normal glue or super glue likely won't hold very well, if at all. However, before the procedure, try and see if you can match up a hollow metal tube of some type that can fit snugly inside the fitting and the radiator neck to provide support and take the pressure. Otherwise, the heat and pressure will just break apart the joint again. A hose clamp is not a good idea without the internal support as it will likely put uneven pressure on the joint and crack it.
