It has been a LONG time since I had to think about this, but yes - you can create a Framework Manager model from a deployed package. The (BIG) caveat is that in most instances, a package will contain only a subset of the data contained in the FM model it was published from, so you can only get back that subset.
I just checked, and there is still a support article that describes the steps:
https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/how-recover-parts-corrupted-or-lost-framework-manager-model
Good luck!

Subject: Can you recover the model.xml file from the deployment package
Hope that i am using the correct terms and making sense. Client lost their server and does not have a backup of their model.xml and cpf files. The packages are deployed in Cognos and the deployment file are in the Cognos folder. Is there a way to recreate the model.xml file?
