Jim...

The answer depends a lot on your skills and whether it's a painted
door. Swingman (one of the regulars here) did a door repair job for a
neighbor a while back that may offer some encouragement to rebuild the
damaged section.

The doors weren't sliders; but I think you might benefit from seeing
the photos on his web site - go to
http://www.e-woodshop.net/Projects9.htm and scroll down about 1/3 of
the page. A Google group search for door rot will provide access to
the discussion that took place here.
