AFAIU the problem statement for PLS is not that different than that of
canonical correlations. In fact some had criticized PLS as re-invention of
the canonical correlations. It can also be seen as a regularized (thus
biased) regression fitting method.
As has been pointed out, the pls.pcr package on CRAN offers PLS (both De
Jong's SIMPLS and the `kernel PLS' algorithms). There's also the
gpls
package that combines PLS and the IWLS iterations in glm.
