Make a copy of the category.php page and name it category-ID.php where "ID" is the actual category ID. That page would be displayed instead of the Wordpress 404 page.

I haven't found any way to selectively make the empty categories plain text (not links) or give a category specific error/empty message to people who click on the empty category Okay, so I go that part working for me, the remaining problem is that empty category links all point to the 404 error page.
