If the gap is small (say 1/16th inch or less) and you can force or clamp the pieces into line, I would use Titebond II, a yellow outdoor glue. It is nearly as strong as Gorilla and much cheaper. It also is easy to clean up with water and won't stain your hands. Liquid Nails is not appropraite for cabinet repair. It is really designed for construction and joints that will never be disturbed. It dries very thick and can't be coaxed into joints like the thin liquid glues can.

Titebond III claims to be stronger then the polyeurthane (gorilla) and is cheaper though 27 dollars a gallon at lowes is still alot. Homedepot doesn't carry it though, and is about double the price of titebond II. Also if you gluing a plastic to the wood, I say use the gorilla or such because gorilla glue blonds anything while titebond cannot glue non porous items.
