Aside from replacing the door, you can purchase and install reinforcement kits for your door and jamb.
EDIT: These are also known as door wrap around plates.
As you can see, it contains a metal bracket that fits around the door. Some just protect the edge while other models extends a few more inches over the door and covers the holes for the dead bolt and handle.
Look around at your local home improvement store or call a local lock smith.
Get a new high security dead bolt while you are at it.
Yes. You get new cabinet doors. You can go the more expensive route and order them from a custom place (made to order are about $50-80 a door for pine depending on size).
You can also go to your nearest salvage store and match their cabinets or doors. Of course you will have to alter some.
There is just no efficient to repair chipboard. You would basically have to glue edging onto the cabinets and there would have to be extra material on the inner doors. It would be ghetto, not look good and not last long.

Best Answer
Use an appropriately sized plastic wall anchor, cut down to match the depth of the hole:
Instead of the large fastener designed for the original plastic plug, use a short self-tapping sheet metal screw, as large as will fit the hole in the hinge base. Put wood glue in the hole prior to inserting the anchor and screwing it all together.
