I wouldn't lose too much sleep over it. I ran a Specialized sealed bearing hub for thousands of miles minus a drive side dust cap and the bearing survived just fine. Maybe check loosescrews.com or your LBS if it bothers you that much. Depending on the brand/model, you might even be able to pick up the same hub cheap on ebay and just use the dust cap from that.
