No you cant buy a new button by itself..Believe me I tried that a while back until I just ended up buying a used unit on Ebay.
I do have a trick for you to make it work until you replace it..It will work perfectly and all you have to do is sell my iphone that I have upi for sale!
Ok for real now..all you need to do is pull the button thats broken off the panel by using a credit card to pry it off. Once you pull it off you will see that the part that broke was a small plastic tab that "pokes/presses" a button. All I did was grab some hard paper "cardboard like but thin" and I rolled it really small.I then inserted it into the hole in the panel that has the broken tab. Then replace the button and see if it works. You may need to make it longer or shorter to get it just right. If done right you wont even tell that its broken and it will function properly. I rode around for 6 months until someone else told me how to do it.
