Unfortunately, the topic of robust PCA is not quite trivial, and has been approached (too) many times... As maintainer of the robust task view, I'd indeed strongly recommend working with 'rrcov' or 'robustbase' which already contains an important subset of rrcov's robust covariance matrix estimators. Note that the historically earliest robust covariance estimator available in an R package is cov.rob() from MASS ('Recommended' package available with every R). *And* you can use standard R's princomp(x, ... , covmat = <robust.cov>(x)) to get robust PCA. I'll add a note with that to the 'Robust' CRAN task view.
