Yes, if it is an exterior door and the house cannot be secured tonight. A door that sticks but still locks can wait for a scheduled visit.

Quick answers
Can a split door frame be repaired instead of replaced?
Usually. A frame split at the strike is often reinforced and re-set; the door and frame are only replaced when the jamb or the door itself is too damaged to hold hardware.
What should I do before the handyman arrives after a break-in?
Call the police first, photograph the damage before anything is moved, and keep the broken hardware for the report.
