This question has no simple answer, and is the subject of current research.
As a starting point you might look at the following papers:
I. M. Fodor and P. B. Stark, Multitaper Spectral Estimation for Time 
Series with Gaps,
  IEEE transactions on Signal Processing, Vol 48, No 12 December, 2000
and
www.congrex.nl/09c24/S3_Posters/S3_P05_Smith_paper.pdf

Hope this helps.
