Possible, but unless there is visible damage to them you won't know till you get the new PSU. Chances of damage are going to depend on the quality of the PSU, the lower the quality the more chance it damaged something else. Even with a good PSU the HDD you were plugging in may be damaged if it was not hot swap compatible.

Turn off PC and unplug. Unplug the hard drive, plug the PC back in, and try to boot.
I could see maybe a CMOS reset might help.

Best to get a new PSU then.
Once it comes in install it and test the rest of the PC.
You won't know until them for sure.
