There isn't a way to restore unless you have a backup. However, most
of the binary files in /usr/local/bin are from packages/ports you have
installed on your system. So you may be able to get away with using
portupgrade(/usr/ports/sysutils/portupgrade) to re-install those
packages and therefore "restoring" some if not all of /usr/local/bin.
Do a portupgrade -f -a which forces portupgrade to re-install all
packages/ports you have currently installed.

Good luck.
