If you are running in ARCHIVE LOG mode then you can create a brand new file and apply all redo since the original file's creation. Since you don't have it in backup I doubt you are in ARCHIVELOG to begin with.
In this case if you just want to bring up the database then:
startup mount
alter database datafile 'xx' offline drop;
at this point you can bring up the database, all data in that file is lost. proper continuation is to export what's left in that tablespace and create a new one, or simply drop that tablespace if this is OK.
There is no easy out of this situation, you delete a file, it's gone... Unless your OS has some kinda of a "waste basket..." like NT has...
good luck,
