You could do something like this (in your install or custom
external method):

def reinstallTypes(self, out):
     typesTool = getToolByName(self, 'portal_types')

     # Type deletion
     for f in fti_list:
         if f['id'] in typesTool.objectIds():
             out.write('*** Object "%s" already existed in the types tool \
             => deleting\n' % (f['id']))

             typesTool._delObject(f['id'])


     # Type re-creation
     for f in fti_list:
         cfm = apply(ContentFactoryMetadata, (), f)
         typesTool._setObject(f['id'], cfm)
         out.write('Type "%s" registered with the types tool\n' % (f['id']))


where fti_list is a list of factory type informations
