Chuck,
As you guessed, some parts of the male gear are chipped off as well. The driveshaft / driveshaft receiver are both fine upon closer inspection though.
Looks like I will need to replace that gear as well. I looked but it does not seem like removing the 10 bolts will let me slip everything out. On the inside of the female gear for the drive-shaft, I saw a c-clip at the very bottom. Do I have to take that off to break down the whole assembly?

You don't need to replace anything but the driven spline in the wheel.
Leave the final drive alone. It's fine. I've seen far worse damage to these that has caused absolutely no problem whatsoever.
Unless it's replaced before failure, the driven spline (the one in the wheel) fails on every 82-84 shaftie. Every. Last. One. I recall a few cases where loose bits of metal damaged the seal in the final drive, but I don't recall any cases where the splines in the final drive are too damaged to use. I'm not saying it couldn't happen, but I know for a fact that I've seen far worse damage that hasn't caused a problem.
Install a new driven spline. Apply a reasonable amount of 60% moly paste -- your friendly local Honda dealer will sell you a tube that's a lifetime supply for I think about $15.
Ride happy. Find something else to worry about.

Thanks BW. I'll clean it up good and then grease it when I get the part in. I'm really excited to be this close to having it up and running. My buddy just got a GSXR and had me ride it (he isn't quite confident) and damn did it give me the itch to ride! Sooon!
