Restoring MBR

Well, I started the New Year off with a bang: I fat-fingered a dd
command and I've overwritten the first 512 bytes of my mbr.

Before I dig out the backups, please tell me if it's possible to 
recreate the MBR from the information in the existing partition labels, 
or if there's a backup of the partition table that I can use.

TIA.
