The ROrca package can also be used to display, brush, and manipulate
projections from higher dimensional space to 3d. None explicitly work
with PCA, though it wouldn't be hard to code up what it would take to
make it work.
Info on Orca is at
http://software.biostat.washington.edu/statsoft/orca
while the ROrca link (requires SJava from Omegahat)is at
http://software.biostat.washington.edu/~rossini/rorca/
It's not "finished", though the examples work for nearly all people
that I've heard from.
