I can't tell for sure by the picture, but it looks like only a partial section is chipped off. How many of the bolt holes are damaged? Do the bolts screw in smoothly? If you can chase out the holes, and there is enough of the threads to torque the bolts to specs, you should be ok. I can't really see the extent of the damage from the photo though. check all of the mounts, there should a a sequence for tightening all of the engine and transmission mounts. Tightening the mounts out of sequence can cause excessive vibration.

I picked out a GS-R transmission, for cheep, car had been in an accident and the tranny mount was almost torn right off, [splitting the case open] took it to an aluminum welder, we banged the split back together and he welded it all back together and added a couple of gussets at what he thought may be weak points, 7+ years of autocross, running a PhantomGrip LSD and a 75 shot and still using the same transmission.

A good welder should habe no problem repairing the break. 94
