I had the exact same problem, but to my luck, the magnet from the stand had attached itself to the one on the back of the phone.
I contacted nokia care.. and well they want me to sent in the entire phone.. theres NO WAY im going to do that lol

You could buy one of those thin bendable self glueing magnet stripes and cut it yourself and glue it in. Make sure its the right pole (+/-).

I just super glued the loose magnet back in place. it lasted a few weeks and came off again. one month on still going strong. Rubbish situation as I actually use the kick stand quite often.

If only the one of the stand is gone, theres no problem because it was iron/steel anyway. Its not magnetic. Only the one attached to the N900 istelf is magnetic (but not stronger than a normal refrigerator magnet). So ist easy, just glue a piece of steel/iron in it.
