Hope not.

Would for instance Gandalf have sent him to Minas Tirith to help in its defence ?

That would have been of some use.

Or sent him to resist the Nazgul ?

I think Saurman's ability to resist them probably rested on the fact that he was in Orthanc.

Or maybe he would have asked Saruman to use the Palantir to give disinformation to Sauron ?

Out of all the available courses of action that probably would have been the least prudent. Even if Saurman's will was good Sauron could probably have seen through him.
Saruman would probably have been helpful in knowledge of the plans of the Enemy and just knowledge of things in general. Out of all the Istari Saurman was probably the wisest in book learning.
