I wonder if sticky tack or a thin sliced down 1mm x1mm strip of alien tape could work like a sticky rubber ring, but maybe someone would say I'm a lunatic for even considering or recommending it.

If it's a cheap sub, I guess that just increases the options, including buying a new sub.
It's not the cone though, it's the plastic port that's broken. It's basically just a piece of ABS or PVC that allows air in and out of the enclosure to improve the bass response.

For putting it back together, I'd just use any of hot glue, silicone, or E6000. Ports don't normally undergo any real stress other than the vibrations.
