Here's one approach. I'd love to know if there's a more elegant solution.

Try COMPUTE CONSTANT = 1. Then weight by CONSTANT. Then add one case with a score for the now absent category, and for CONSTANT enter a value of 0.00000001 -- or even smaller.

Now run the frequency, and the now absent category should show up with a displayed frequency of 0. It will have an imperceptible effect on percentages, etc.
