Good chance you've damaged it. The pump is meant to be run with PS fluid for both heat dissipation and lubrication.
It won't directly damage the engine if it freezes up. But it will make one hail of a noise when it smokes the belt. And, the real danger is that, when the belt breaks, it'll take out the waterpump/alternator belts. You'll be seriously SOL if that happens.
At the very least, remove the power steering pump belt.
